A couple of years ago Colt and the USMC signed a contract for 1911 rail guns in 45

I like the S&W Plastic M&P series of guns for civilian use, but I doubt they are rugged enough to get a milspec.
Transition when your rifle stops running and you're in a fight at 25 yards or less.
Jack Leuba rewrote the USMC CQB doctrine. He taught transitions to me in his classes; they were included because he had used them in Iraq.
He also told me that marines going to fight WANT handguns. I find it difficult to argue with men who are going to fight and want an additional weapon.

While a lower enlisted MP in about 3 different places, I saw soldiers who let rust, corrosion, wear, improper oiling, etc nearly ruin M9s, M16s, M60s, etc.
