Don't know the particulars on the selection process, but found this interesting:

going to a lighter gun that is easier to maintain and keeping the same bullet basically. Really the .357 sig is just a +P 9mm anyway...

Copy on the rationale, was noting that I could provide no additional information concerning the selection process (i.e. what other competitors were considered, testing conducted, number of rds fired, results, etc).

Good for them. I wish my agency allowed me to carry my M&P for my work gun

The comments on the article make me want to punt puppies. It's sometimes difficult remembering that M4C is a minority in the gun world.

I'm interested to know what ammo they will be issuing with these M&Ps.

DPS 357Sig ammo was a contract ammo. Don't remember if I ever saw a brand name on a box. It has been 5 years since also.

I think it will be a good move.

Yea I read the comments you were talking about, seems like a lot of the people who complain the most about 9mm know very little about guns.

HAHAHA yeah I enjoyed the one about 9mm users having to sit down while they peed!

This is good news. I shot a Trooper buddy's sig he carries on duty and it had an attrocios trigger pull. Glad to see them making a sensible choice on pistols. Now if they could get rid of those Bushy ARs...

9mm is the cheapest to shoot, with the cheapest guns. What's not for .gov to love?
