The question was why NOT the 1911--not alternately defend and or bash the thing.
Thanks Dr. Rob for reading the question, no more and no less into it.

Well, they're goin' to have to get the heck out when we secede from the union....again!
Not sure where the HKs are made but for it to be goverment issue the item must be manufactured on U. S. soil.If I were to pick an ideal handgun to issue soldiers it would probably be the H&K Mk23.

You should keep in mind that they are also the single most overrated handgun in history.
It's an old design.
The 1911 Design offers no advantages over the more current handguns on the market.
Correction to post number 39
When I first joined the Army we did shoot USGI 1911's.
And even the ones that were not worn out suffered the occasional failure-to-feed or failure-to-eject...The 1911 is a fine handgun....nobody disputes this.
But to claim that they simple don't fail is utter nonsense.
BTW - you could always expect those guns to jam at some point, even the good ones.
The 45 is great. And a 1911 is one of the best pistols ever made but it has some serious limitations.
