[Hat Tip: Defense Review]
I wonder if the US military is aware of this gun?
I have thought for along time that the military needs to allow service members to purchase thier personal sidearms. Give them a range of calibers that ammo will be supplied and let them choose a sidearm. And then require them to shoot the hell out of it.
I am a lover of 1911s. But I own a Glock G21 and the Springfield XDs are very good guns.

0For what competition? Certainly not USPSA, as .45 is overkill in production, and .45 is an awkward caliber for limited and especially open. Does IDPA allow competition size guns? I would have thought they would have released it in .40 like Glock smartly did.
2 0They effectively made an IDPA CDP division gun. And that’s about it. Or for those people who just *need* a .45.
0 1Looks nice but the barrel is too long to me.
1 0Very interesting firearm!
