I interpreted this...

... as more confusion between the testing the military did for the MHS on the XM17 and the commercial P320. The "they" isn't clear to me within the context of military testing if it didn't mean military.

AFAIK there is no industry respected independent laboratory for commercial firearms testing. Maybe there should be? But that would only highlight the differences between military testing and others which are being ignored.
