This video details the US military's XM9 trials, which selected the Beretta 92FS (M9) as its service pistol. It contrasts the rigorous, multi-phase testing process with the flawed XM17 program, emphasizing that the XM9 selection was based on exceeding stringent criteria, not solely on the lowest bid. The program involved extensive reliability, durability, and corrosion testing, with both the Beretta 92FS and SIG P226 emerging as top performers before a final competitive bidding process determined the winner.

This video provides an in-depth review and comparison of the Sig Sauer P320, selected as the US Army's M17 service pistol, against its primary competitor, the Glock 19.

The presenter expresses concerns regarding the P320's limited testing duration and lack of extensive combat record compared to the Glock.
