They needed something that worked

Seemed to do pretty well through two world wars and several other conflicts.

All Glock had to do was submit a handgun that met the minimum requirements as specified in the guidelines for the MHS......then they’d have had a shot at the contract.

The “M” in “MHS” stands for “Modular”, by the way. Since Glock did not even meet the minimum requirements, the Army couldn’t pick them......they could not be considered.

I would ask that you please refrain from introducing facts into this discussion. They have no place in a "shoulda picked Glock" rant.

A generalization of the requirements:

“The MHS requirement called for a non-caliber specific weapon with modular features to allow for the adaption of different fire control devices, pistol grips, and alternate magazine options. The weapon will fit various hand sizes and will mount targeting enablers using Picatinny railsThe new weapon will incorporate detection avoidance by having a non-reflective neutral color and will be operable with a suppressor in place.”

Yep, and Sig did a fine job in creating a truly modular handgun. It is very clever. And just for the record, I have owned a p320 and didn't care for it, but I do own Glocks and prefer them. If Glock wanted the contract they should have competed with a true modular system, as clearly specified.

Not certain but I believe a safety was required as well.
