Beretta may be going the way of Magpul

I hope this isn't a dup.

Ya'll come to Indiana....

 

[jbombelli]

I'd love to see some good gun companies come to Indiana.

Doesn't Beretta still make the standard issue military pistol? Or has that business moved out? I'd figure they'd be more wary of jumping ship and do anything that may make the current administration black ball them.

So bravo if they do...they'd be the biggest one to stand up to 2nd ammendment attacks yet, wouldn't they?

The Beretta M9's going away and being replaced by the venerable Colt M1911.

Their AR 160 is in the running to replace the M4

Why would the military downgrade?

Just because the Marines bought a few does not mean there is a switch. The M9 is alive and well.

It brings a tear to my eye. Is the 1911 going to be a .45 or are they redoing it for 9 mm?

 

[CathyInBlue]

The Marines are returning to the M1911 because it's .45.

Well, since an appeal to liberty doesn't seem to have much effect on politicians, I suppose an appeal to the tax revenue they stand to lose may be the most effective route.

We went away from the 1911 years ago why would we go back?

Shot both as a young 2LT. Only own 1911s for large carry as a civilian. That being said, Indiana has lots of shovel-ready real estate available for manufacturing exiles. I'd buy one just for old time's sake if they invested in the Hoosierland.

I saw a nickle plated looking one at Cabellas up in Hammond that I SWORE had my name written on it. The tag said 'Reserved for 87IROC if they move to Indiana'...

Regardless...I like historic Military rifles and such...so I could very well buy one someday. Had one in my hand but I chose my XD instead. Full size...but shorter barrel

My hopes are that our current Administration is trying to bring some of these companies to Indiana. Tax abatements and low interest loans, while I do not generally agree with, might be beneficial to bringing some here.

 

[funeralweb]

Mine too, dak109.

The move back to .45acp seems to be limited to SOCOM and, perhaps, the Marine Corps. The M9 was originally selected because of its larger magazine capacity and because the 9mm was considered to be easier to shoot than the .45acp, as well as being a standard NATO round - which the .45acp was not.

I've not heard of any reversion in DoDs thinking about a general-issue handgun. SOCOM, on the other hand, gets to pick its own weapons, pretty much, and they appear to like the heavier round. Not sure there's much enthusiasm for the smaller magazine capacity of the 1911, though.

Now it really seems that Colt and S&W are looking rather cowardly for not making their own statement.
