\u201cWe put our money behind the 9mm round fired by an extremely well-trained marksman carrying a Glock 19,\u201d [Major Nick Mannweiler, a spokesman for Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command] told Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n
Since last year, MARSOC has purchased and fielded 1,654 Glock 19s because Raiders needed a reliable secondary weapon \u201cthat could be used for both a concealed carry profile and a low-visibility profile,\u201d and having one approved pistol for all special operators saves money, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, I disagree. They might as well go back to using the .38 Special. The 9mm performs better than the .38 but the bullet is about the same size – the .45 replaced the .38 during the Philippine Insurrection because doped-up Moros needed incentive to stay down and the .38 wasn’t doing it. <\/p>\n
The low-visibility profile thing is bullshit – I have a Glock 30 (.45 cal double-stack 10 round magazine) that is one of my concealed carry weapons and it’s practically invisible in a waistband holster.<\/p>\n
The .45-caliber round is also more expensive than its 9mm counterpart, Clapperton said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, no one whose life depends on a weapon wants to hear that as a reason to get the other weapon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
