Mr. Ruger supposedly claimed that if his Mini would've come out a year earlier -- the US army would be shooting Rugers.

This is the only place I've read this and the only proof that it could be true that this firearm is combat ready, as far I've researched anyway, is the NYPD Special forces anti-terror groups that have trained with the gun for years; but have recently switched to M-4 because the Mini can't be relied upon past 100 yards supposedly. This coming from a police force that's about to melt down a bunch of Mossberg shotguns because they broke one of them target shooting. I already know about Bahamas army who used them because they got a great deal on them or whatever. . .
Does anyone have any actual evidence that the Mini could not handle combat except for the self-fullfilling prophecy that it hasn't been used in combat yet therefore couldn't handle combat?
