      "Far more lethal...." Glad I just got one...I feel like I am ready to make a movie with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.....

      The M9 has become "pretty dated technology," said Lieutenant Colonel Steven Power, who oversees part of the weapon upgrade. "The specific performance improvements from [the M17 and M18] over the M9 include better accuracy, tighter dispersion, and better ergonomics, which combined result in a far more lethal pistol."

            More lethal because you don’t even need to aim at your targets, simply drop it and your enemies are dead.

                It's more lethal because it has the shoulder thing that goes up.

                  ********Millions of U.S. Army soldiers will get more lethal handguns as part of a half-billion, decade-long project, the first upgrade to the standard M9 sidearm in more than three decades.*********

                  Millions??????

                  Are they saying every single one of us are getting issued the new pistol?

                  My unit has one pistol for a Company of 160, and we don't even have a rifle for every soldier.

                    Feinstein must be shaking/quaking in her boots... err, heels. What would happen if something like that got loose in Kali? I mean, that would be a State security problem!

                    Good thing it does not have the shoulder thing that goes up or a bumpstock! It must be a huge relief to her.

                    I feel sorry for you folks that have to put up with such imbecile politicians. We have enough of them in the semi-free WA State.

                    According to the letter-of-law in WA, I cannot "transfer" a firearm to you at a recognized firing range to shoot even one round without me requiring a background check on you.

                    The idiots come in all shapes, sizes, and colors.

                      If the libs didn't label it "more lethal" how would they later pass a law banning the "more lethal" pistol?

                        Hey, it must be super-duper lethal since CA considers it unsafe. I wonder whether it kills puppies...

                          Does it hold more than 10 baby killer per second bullet clips?

                            Is this the hammer-fired version of Sig P320?
