OK, being serious:
I think for those operators who depend upon pistols for their roles as warriors, the .45acp and MEUSOC 1911 pistol will continue to evolve. There was an "old style" and there is a "new style". Same basic concept utilizing different manufacturers' parts (King's on the old, mostly Brown on the new).
Of course, other SOCOM units carry HK, Sig, etc, some in 9mm and some in .45acp.
For general issue, I would think polymer and Made in America. I do think that they will stick to the specs issued a couple years ago: .45acp, double action, optional manual safety.
The 24/7 OSS seemed to be designed around those specs and would have been in the running had the idea not been canceled.
However, I would think that the Springfield Armory would churn out something in the way of a modified XDm which would likely look like a crossbreed of a current XD/XDm and a MEUSOC 1911.
