Of all the pistols out there currently the Glock makes the most sense for military service. Once the VP9 and Walther PPQ are more proven, my opinion may change, but for now it's really hard to beat Glock. They're cheap, reliable, accurate enough, easy to fix, easy to keep running, light weight, and thin. Kinda hard to beat.
……..while I've developed a real fondness for and have been carrying a G19 quite a bit lately----for all of the above reasons that you've mentioned, I kinda think that the Sig 320 would be an even better choice----it's more of a "component gun" than the G19 which is a big plus for mass armory work and the military supply chain logistically. Price might be the only downside, but with a huge Gov't. contract, I'm guessing that Sig would be competitive.
I'm just delighted that they're getting away from a DA/SA gun either Sig or Beretta or anything else.
