US Defense News put out a video explaining why the U.S. Army chose the SIG P320 over its closes competitor, Glock 19x, in the MHS program... "In 2017, the U.S. Army announced that Sig Sauer won its XM17 Modular Handgun System competition. Sig Sauer beat out Glock Inc., FN America, and Beretta USA, the M9 9mm service pistol makers at the time, in the competition for the Modular Handgun System, or MHS, program."
The more compact version of the new MHS pistol of the U.S. Army, the M18, just set the new reliability standard. In a press release by Sig Sauer, it has successfully completed a Lot Acceptance Test during the MHS Material Reliability Testing, with zero stoppages. The standard version MHS, the M17, has an official airsoft version from SIG Sauer and made by WE Airsoft. Press release below:
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.
