Why The US Army REALLY Said NO To Glock!
The US Army rejected Glock's 19X for the XM17 MHS trials primarily due to a lack of true modularity and higher projected costs compared to Sig Sauer's P320. While Glock met basic performance requirements, Sig's ability to convert a single platform into multiple sizes (full, mid, compact) via a removable trigger group offered significant cost savings and flexibility, which was a key Army objective. Glock's submission was rated 'acceptable' while Sig's was 'good,' indicating a failure to meet specific Army goals.
