The Smith & Wesson XM10 was a contender in the US Army's XM10 pistol trials, a follow-up to the XM9 trials that selected the Beretta M9. This rare prototype, based on the Model 459, featured a 20-round magazine and removed the magazine safety. Despite S&W's improvements, the Beretta M9 ultimately won the final trials in 1988, leading to the XM10 program's discontinuation.
The Colt Model 1971 was an internal prototype developed in the early 1970s to modernize the service pistol, aiming to improve upon the M1911. Key design goals included enhanced maintenance with stainless steel, increased capacity via double-stack magazines, and improved safety with a DA/SA trigger. While it evolved into the Colt SSP for the M9 trials, it ultimately lost to the Beretta 92.
The Sig Sauer P226, originally designed for military trials, boasts a rich history and robust design influenced by the 1911 and Sig P210. Despite losing the XM9 trials to Beretta, it was adopted by elite units like the Navy SEALs due to its durability. The P226 offers various trigger systems and numerous variants, making it a versatile choice for law enforcement, military, and civilian use.
