Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Sig P320 replacing Beretta for US Army

It wasn't lobbying. Understand any time one of these RFPs is awarded it immediately followed by a court case and formal protest. After the JAASP trials there's we're both and an independent congressional investigation.

SIG won because they had a pistol that was already developed that met the full criteria. if you read the RFP you can see that The only pistols that really met the full criteria where the submissions from Sig and Beretta. But the SIG was way ahead of Beretta in development. I think what Beretta came up with was thought through much better than the Sig design, but it was brand new. Literally the first pistols off of the production line went straight to the army.

Glocks are great pistols but they lacked the modularity that the Army had layed out in the RFP.

I personally think had the chosen anything other than Berettaor Sig then that would be evidence of foul play, Because they were the only two that actually met the specifications of the RFP
