I hope they reopen the process. The M&P was kicked because it was the only American Made gun in the process, and the President didn’t want that.

The President we have now goes by “Hire American, Buy American, America First”

So Glock, Beretta, and Sig can show up for the competition but they won’t beat out the S&W/GenDyn M&P if judged on performance, and if it’s picked on politics they don't need to bother with showing up.

 

I've owned two M&Ps in both full sized and compact, and both were POS, so I hope that they wouldn't base a decision on just the manufacturer being an American company.

I think the premise behind trying to get an American company is to assure a reliable flow of these weapons, where the military would not be getting cut off by embargo or war. And did the DOD not field a set of specs to potential contractees  saying "this is the minunum we expect"?

Or is this whole thing just an exercise in pocket lining by a bunch of cake-eating yahoos?
