Almost every large government contract award - in any part of the government - is acknowledged by the losers with a challenge. It's sort of expected at this point. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I'll be curious to find out the basis for their protest.

Also curious to know what Glock submitted.

S.O.P. It would be newsworthy if they didn't protest. But this is just another dog bites man story.

Awwww, poor things. GTFO.

After the Army ditched the 1911 in 1985, I could give a rats azz what sidearm they use.

I thought this was another anti-Trump protest.

The probably even have a valid point

The way these contracts work and the number of people who stand to gain, I'm pretty certain there is something that violated the law, rules or ethics.
Will anything likely be done?

Very doubtful.

Just cause a group in one single area are bent to think one way, doesn't mean the rest of the Country does.
