the nato thing is part of it somewhat but look as the 7.62X51 we got nato to use it then switched to 223... repamer ya can carry a lot more ammo on 9mm and 223 to spray and pray with ..

Gee Euc, you just couldn't leave it alone; had to come out with the ole pig remark

I've got a Vertec and I don't find it big per se, well no more big than a 1911, H&K USP, etc. 'Course I guess big is in the hands of the beholder, but pig of a gun????

I'm still chuckling at "pig of a gun" - never heard that before.

Apparently the Vertec is a totally different animal (pardon the pig, er pun), because it doesn't have a big grip. I guess I didn't realize there was such a difference between the Vertec and the 92/M9. Ha, Ha, pig of a gun - you guys.

Other guns are "pigs" too. Much of the Ruger P series is "piggish" for instance.

But once again, that's not necessarily bad. If it fits it fits.

You're right Bud, the latest Joint Combat Pistol (JCP) System query is from 10 Aug. 05.

Bud White · January 30th, 2006, 10:12 PM

I still think it will be the Hk

Glock would be in the running if ...they had second strike capibilty and a external safety

But for most of the Grunts they will get the Hk i bet

Sig had a external safety they would be in the running but no there

heck i could be totally wrong and Ruger could get the contract
