what will the military do with all the old M9's once the new pistols arrive?
« on: July 29, 2014, 11:57:05 AM »
Will they destroy the old Beretta M9 pistols or will they sell them?  I remember shooting the Beretta M9 when I was in the military and thought they were a very good pistol to shoot.  Never had to shoot it in a self defense situation but I thought it was a nice pistol.

They have about 15yrs to decide what to do based on the way they drag their feet with everything else.

Has there been a decision on a new pistol?  I've heard stories here and there, but I usually don't give them much attention since they have been talking about a new pistol for years, but never seem to do anything.

I think this is the right answer. Obongo's State Dept prevented the repatriation of those M-1's from the Korea a couple years ago.

Clearly not, as this Yahoo article explains.  The streets will be running red with blood.
