This article is horribly researched, I don't even know where to begin! So, at the beginning you say the Navy SEALS have been for years using the same Sig Sauer design as was selected as the Army's new handgun. Then later you say the Beretta M9 was selected over this same design. The Sig Sauer P226 is the gun you used to see SEALs using. The gun that won the Army's selection process is the M17/M18/P320. Two extraordinarily different handguns, the 320 is NOT an updated P226, not even close!. The P226 has a metal frame, uses a hammer and is far from modular. The P320 is a modern, polymer-framed handgun using a striker-fired operating the system. The "history" portion of the story is no less inaccurate than the technical. PLEASE in the future at least do the research to learn to spell the subject of your story (BERETTA not BARETTA) before writing.

I was shocked to find that my Sig 320 is hammer fired. Apparently I have a part missing, but, amazingly, it seems to function well without a hammer. Definitly an amateurish, or simply purposely biased, article. I like the site, but articles like this make me worry about the accuracy of the other articles where I have less knowledge of the subject matter.

An M4 SBR is pretty 'handy" which is why it's the preferred weapon for most urban combat/hostage rescue ops. Handguns have a place, but it's normally a situation where the PRIMARY weapon's failed for whatever reason. The points on the M9 are valid, though the threaded barrel for a "silencer" (that's "suppressor" actually) is a corner case; as only SOF folks would need that. The SiG P226 is actually a modified SiG P220 which was actually the handgun SiG submitted for the competition won by the M9.
