Talk:XM17 Modular Handgun System competition

Just a thought
How much do you guys want to bet that this program will end up like all the other replacement programs like the XM8? Something tells me it will.--Expertseeker90 (talk) 06:40, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Just read an article from military.something-or-the-other that the Army has delayed the project as of about Jan 22. If you're interested google it.Grizzly chipmunk (talk) 17:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

I should have taken that bet. lol Spartan198 (talk) 21:17, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Sig Sauer is German owned
Sig Sauer is a New Hampshire, USA based arms company is owned by Luke & Ortmier. It is NOT Swiss based so the flag next to it is incorrect. When SIG got out of the arms business they sold the remnant was named Swissarms.

The firearms Sig will provide to the US Army, the M17 handgun will be made in the plant in Exeter, New Hampshire.

Seeing Sig Sauer provides enough info and a lack of exact production details reported I modified that description. Koverpw (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * In a comversation with Sig Arms today the spokesman confirmed that Sig Sauer USA and Sig Sauer Germany are separate entities. Sig Sauer German does import and sell Sig Arms USA firearms in a restricted fashion.

Since Sig Sauer was created in the USA all new firearms introduced have been designed there, for export and for production in Germany.Digitallymade (talk) 22:33, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Error describing the Sig Sauer P320 submitted for XM17
The claim made in the competitors sections that the P320 was submitted in 9 x 19mm Nato and .357 Sig is not supported in the note that was used to reference this. There was NO caliber mentioned. The P320 has two basic version. One version supports 9mm, 357 Sig, 40 S&W and the other version is in .45 ACP. The first version can be easily converted among the 3 calibers mentions. The .45 ACP version cannot be converted to any other caliber.

All of them can have the basic handgrips changed among up to three different sizes, small, medium, and large. This is exclusive of the frame sizes which are Full, Carry, Compact, and Sub-Compact. The .45ACP version does not have the Sub-Compact frame size. It might not support the three grip sizes.Digitallymade (talk) 22:39, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Legal challenges
The article could benefit from someone adding, what exactly Glock had been protesting with the GAO. The source given does not say. --BjKa (talk) 11:57, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Glock entries
I'm pretty sure Glock didn't submit a G17 to the program, just the G19 and G23. Here's a TFB article (with photos) on the entries. Maybe whomever stated this was confused by the G19 MHS being a 19-length slide on a 17-length frame? Spartan198 (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
