SOCOM's new handgun (formerly known as the JCP).
Just wondering if anyone here has heard any more info about the SOCOM handgun trials. I've looked around, but people either aren't talking, or things are going really slow.
So far, I've come up with this list of entrants.
Beretta - PX4 45ACP.
Smith and Wesson - M&P 45.
Heckler and Koch - HK45.
FN Herstal - FNP 45.
Sig Arms - 220 Combat.
I also heard a rumor that Glock was going to participate, but Glock is apparently being extremely quiet. Based on some of the feature requests, I'd have to guess if there is a new generation Glock coming out, it will probably make it's debute at the SOCOM trials.
The only photos made public have come from HK and SIG to the best of my knowledge. SIG is already planning civilian sales, and rumor has it that civilians may see them even before the SOCOM trials are over. The 220 Combat is already on SIG's website with an MSRP of $1200 for the threaded barrel model, and $1070 for the standard model.
Reguardless of who wins, I'll openly say that there's a healthy list of handguns I'll be glad to see offered with threaded barrels.
The luxury of freedom was not free.
