lets be fair here, the glock not making the cut had VERY little, strike that, it had nothing to do with the reliability or accuracy of the pistol.

the lack of a traditional safety (a army requirement) and glocks unwillingness to license out the design are what killed that gun. even if glock made changes to suit the army, they are still not willing to license out the design, thast the trump card, gaston glocks unwillingness to license out the design.



I'm not sure one was even submitted for testing...


edit: they were submitted but were eliminiated for technical reasons, which I have already illustrated
