    From your post it is clear that you really don’t know a lot about polymer frame pistols.

    IM sorry but I have known FAR to many veterans FIRST HAND that admit they would rather have a beretta then anything chambered in 5.56. EVERY first hand veteran I personally know after they get out have a massive disgust of that cartridge and associated weapons. And when we DO buy "the first gun back home" its also always chambered in a genuine battle rifle cartridge.308 family, etc.
    I am a Veteran. I carried a M16A1 and a M16A2. I used the M16A2 in combat against the AK47. I will tell you, the 7.62x39 isn’t worth much pass 250 yards.
    The modern battlefield is much different from WWII. It’s more fluid. A soldier today has to be able to carry much more ammo. When it comes to a firefight, the first side that runs out of ammo looses.
    I love steel and wood, but if someone tells you that a Garand or a M14icon is a much better rifle then what the military uses today, they either don’t know what they are talking about or they are just lying to themselves.
