It looks like the final hurdle for the Sig Sauer P320 to be the official sidearm of the U.S. Army has been cleared. According to Army Times, the GAO rejected the protest filed by Glock for the winning bid on the Modular Handgun System (MHS)... "The Government Accountability Office has denied a protest from firearms manufacturer Glock that sought to have the government reconsider its award of a 10-year, $580 million contract for the Army's new handgun to a competitor.
Glock filed the protest in February after the Army announced in January that it would award the Modular Handgun Contract to Sig Sauer for the company’s P320 to replace the M9 Beretta, the soldier’s sidearm for more than 30 years.
Monday was the deadline for the GAO’s decision."
