I didn't know they switched back. I know that some outfits (ie, various SF) can option whatever they want but I thought that they regs were for 9mm. I remember our firearms instructor, an old gunny sgt (who hated sailors, BTW)), decrying the 9mm. That old mofo had been in the Pacific in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Had service stripes on his sleeve practically to his armpit. He'd shot Japanese soldiers at night with his sidearm and said that no 9mm would even give him the security and peace of mind that came out of the business end of a .45 auto. He had us taking the dang thing apart and putting it together with stories of having to do it on a volcanic sand-jammed pistol in the dark in a crater, waiting for the next wave of Japanese attackers. Gunny didn't appreciate young, smart-mouthed sailors worth a crap. However, I can still field-strip and reassemble that pistol. bet I could do it in the dark, too. 35 years later. B |

I should have said that they were replacing the 9mm in the sub machine guns with .45, specifically the UMP .45 . They are replacing the handguns Tangas can elaborate on that.

If they would take me I would but they don't want a crip like me running around. Thanks for the Vid that looks like fun. |
Right now I do a little play time with the UMP-40, not too bad but I prefer the MP-5. The MP-5 can hold a 32 round 5 ring group on full auto in abour 2.4 seconds, the UMP-40 is a touch harder to control. Nothing that can't be mastered with a little trigger time .
The Seals, and probably a few other SOG's, are packing the H&K SOG-45. Nifty sidearm, with attachment points for lasers, lights and other goodies. I had the opportunity to run a couple hundred round through one a couple years back, held a playing card sized group at 25-30 yards. Not too shabby for a "duty" gun. It is a far sight bigger than the Beretta 92, definitely more oomph on the receiving end. |

It looks like the USG Five-seveN is available for civilians: http://www.impactguns.com/store/3868929130.html I've not fired a weapon for years, but I wouldn't mind giving these a try. |
