"Glock is protesting the U.S. Army’s selection of the Sig P320 MHS variant as the winner of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) contract to supply the military with 9mm handguns and accessories with a contract worth up to $580 million.
Firearms manufacturer Glock has filed a protest with the government over the Army’s award of a new pistol contract to competitor Sig Sauer, according to documents filed with the Government Accountability Office on Friday.
The move puts the Army’s plans to begin testing its XM17 Modular Handgun System on hold until the complaint is resolved.
Sig Sauer released the P320 in 2014; it is a polymer striker-fired pistol that has interchangeable grip modules that can also be adjusted in frame size and caliber by the user. And while the weapon can be adapted to shoot 9mm, .357 SIG and .40 S&W ammunition, the Army is opting to stick with the 9mm.
The specific reason(s) for Glock’s protest (beyond not winning) have not been publicly released."
Life is oh so unfair for Gaston .
9mm Hi-Power
P.S. The Army has evidently decided to stick with the 9mm Parabellum .
