I attended a CQB course put on by Northern Red back in August. The lead istructor, Tom Spooner, is a retired US Army Detachment D operator. I specifically asked him what "the unit" uses and he said pretty much to the man, Glock and M&P. They used the M9 then converted to 1911, which were unreliable, then adopted the Glocks and Smiths. I love my 1911s but I carry a 220 everyday. Apart from it being a boat anchor, it never not feeds or goes bang.
