This video argues that the Beretta M9A4 should have been adopted by the US Army over the Sig Sauer M17. The presenter, an self-proclaimed 'average Beretta M9 enjoyer,' highlights the M9A4's potential for magazine interchangeability with existing Army stocks, its proven reliability due to an open slide design, and the confidence-inspiring weight of an all-metal firearm. The discussion also touches on the 'Shaboom' technique for mastering double-action/single-action triggers and suggests increased investment in soldier training rather than a complete platform change.

This video provides a detailed historical overview of the Colt Model 1911 pistol, from its inception and development through various trials and early production changes.

The content includes in-depth explanations of the firearm's mechanics, safety features, and manufacturing challenges, culminating in its widespread adoption and early service history.

This review of the Sig Sauer P320-M17 highlights its features as the US Army's chosen sidearm. The presenter notes its full-size accuracy, coyote tan PVD coated slide, forward serrations, X-Ray3 night sights, ambidextrous thumb safety, and compatibility with 17 and 21-round magazines. While it lacks the 'X' trigger, it sports a curved trigger likely due to Army specifications. The firearm is optic-ready, though the rear sight must be removed for optic installation. The reviewer experienced a slight break-in period requiring a strong charge for reliable cycling, but found the pistol performed well with both standard and steel-case ammunition, passing a 'lipris' test.
