That document is pretty in depth and definitve. A lot of people really ought to read it, rather than just keep repeating an opinion they like.
That's right. People keep repeating whatever reason they like to have in their mind, and totally missed the link I posted...
I am sure the Beretta got the contract because of the ...
There is another "assumption"
the sigs passed all the tests. Basicly the United
States was blackmailed by the
italian govt. either go with the beretta or get the bases out of italy
Once again - as others stated above - another unverified report that no one can ever verify. But it sure sounds good, huh... Great story to repeat for people who hate the gun.... (because it replaced the 1911, Sig wasn't chosen, etc)
I'm sure there will be others who comment and never bother to read that PDF link I posted...
Granted - one can't believe everything told to us by the big G - but in this case, it's all we have. And, it actually has FACTS in it, unlike everyone's repeated story that's been passed down to them.
Also, stories of broken slides that happened in events 25+ years ago are the other beloved groups of stories told over and over by gun store commandos who believe they know everything. That was 25 years ago. No one is being hit in the face with mass quantity of Beretta slides now. So, to use that as your justification for not liking the Beretta 92 is ridiculous.
But, that's the "other" series of ridiculous stories that get repeated over and over as well...
Anyway... here it is again:
