"Just to confirm, the M9 is the military name for the 92FS, but they are identical?"
With the exception of the difference in snowman vs 3 dot sight, and finish, they are essentially identical.
"You have to remember, this guy is not a cop, he is a soldier (Well, he is an MP, but you know what I mean). As such, he does not have to wait until danger is clear and immediate to draw his weapon. Soldiers don't have to worry about lawsuits."
Just to clarify, nor do LEO's; this is governed to a degree by agency policy, but officers often draw when a risk is perceived...it does not have to be an in-your-face-imminent threat. As I recall, it was over at AR15 that my comment on this caused a bit of a stir a while ago..I guess a lot of people don't realize just how often we DO draw.....
