Breaking News: Glock protests and blocks the M-17 contract

USSOCOM is currently using Glock, and according to what John Mcphee said, The M17 will not affect their continued use of the 19 and 17.

Yes I believe the 43 9mm and 42 380, both use the same spring. A heavier spring has been used to replace the 17M, to account for the higher mass of the slide. It's worth noting, that Dry fire is used extensively in training, so it's likely other agencies may not have encountered the issue.

Maybe Glock has rightly had enough of the overly arduous R&D and the shit ton of micro-managed requirements by DoD and/or USSOCOM

Stephen C, it is my understanding the P320 had some issues with the extractor and extractor spring and having FTE issues. Yet It is my belief that issue has been dealt with quickly and has been proven the P320 a solid acquisition

It is my understanding that the phrasing of, " the SIG P320 "failing miserably" for the Bureau was simply the choice of words spoken on some podcast by a retired Delta operator (Larry Vickers) and Mr. Vickers qualified his statement as," what he heard from "someone."

With that being said, there are quite a few folks who call the Sig P320 the "Glock killer". To that i say nonsense.

I do have a question for you HoldingII:
You refer to the slide stop spring issue on the M series Glock as they were using the G42 "spring". Isn't the Glock 42 chambered exclusively in .380 ACP?
