The Army’s New Modular Handgun Is Heading Out to the Field

Thanks for the share LTC Ivan Raiklin, Esq. As I have said before in previous posts about this acquisition, it is the amount of time shooting and the variety and quality of training that determines the effectiveness of the combination of warrior and his equipment. Give a great operator a well made Ruger, S&W, Glock, 1911 framed .45, .40. 9mm and the results will be pretty much the same. Effective fire on the intended target. Give a moderately trained soldier the same weapon and you will achieve a very different outcome.
And it is as much, or more, about training than it is about some inherent natural "warrior" genetics; not to say some people are just plain born to be better shooters. But some b-d soldier with little, or no consistent intentional training facing his self after many hours of consistent, purposeful training...the no training guys dies 99 times out of 100, maybe 999 out of 1000. I'm just not sure in this present time they will be willing to commit to effective training for everyone that will carry this pistol into battle. Just saying, less fuss over picking the gun (the General was right give him a check and send him down to Cabela's) and more fuss over developing and funding a consistent and successful training program. My guess, as usual, some will get good with it and some will not.

At the same time I do see the benefits of a "modular" handgun in an organization that will need to own and maintain hundreds of thousands of them.

Great now they will get the full field test.
