The military doesn't carry a round in the chamber per regulations.
What are you taking about? The above, combined with your statement that guns shouldn't be dropped therefor a pistol that fires when dropped is ok...? Guns get dropped when used. Doesn't make it "ok", but the baddest gunslinger in earth will eventually drop a gun if pushed hard enough.
I've been in the military since 2002, and have never not carried chambered. The Army is retarded in that they think the decocker on the M9 is a "safety", however not every branch/organization does.
As for the M17/18.... someone might have said earlier this year that there were issues with the choice of the Sig.... However, the "upgrade" was already added to the military pistols. There's more to it of course....
