All true.
Just meaning it has never been the military issued firearm for any country that has been in shooting conflict.
Looks like it IS the issued sidearm of the Austrian army, no surprise. So if they had troops in on the Iraq international alliance thing, then that might "count".
Yeah, even though I settled in on XD and have three, kinda thought I might pick up a G19 sometime, just to pad out the arsenal with one of the greatest all around firearms ever made. By the time I got around to it, the finger grooves say no. I'd have to settle for a much older used gun.
Even when I was trying to decide between XD subbie and G26 for carry, another reason the XD got the nod because the single finger groove "separator" on the 26 didn't feel as good, even though unlike the 19, there IS room for the middle finger. Although I guess the 26/27 had this from the gitgo, wasn't added in a "generational" change.
