[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2817872, member: 796"] I was in the Pentagon at the time working another procurement, but heard the briefings on the replacement handgun. The Army wanted more new 1911s, but the US agreed to 9mm handguns to get NATO agreement on the 5.56 rifle (which the Europeans did NOT want). After 2 rounds of testing that ALL the 9mm handguns failed, Beretta was chosen to sweeten the deal for Italy to buy F16s. And that's the real story on how decisions like that are made in Washington, DC. [/QUOTE]
