Sticking to their guns: Marines place $22.5M order for the Colt .45 M1911

I think the HK45 would have been a much better choice but who am I to talk.

I think it's good that they are keeping the dollars state side.

Besides, just about anyone can effectively handle a 1911, but some of the women or guys with smaller hands may have difficulty handling a hk45.

This. I'm a smallish guy with smallish hands, and I always had some issues with the M9. I'm much more natural and more accurate with my 1911.

Terrible idea. Glock would have been better.

(common) People in the Military are too stupid to use a gun with no safety.

I have pretty damn small hands and use the large backstrap on my HK45. It's definitely not a USP. Besides these guns are now made in 'Murrica.
