Here's What Soldiers Think of the U.S. Army's Brand New Handgun 

After seeing this, I feel much better about my shooting skills 😆

Would have been nice if they were actually taught how to fire a handgun....

Coming from an Army Veteran that was pretty hard to watch. Grips, Mechanics, safety etc... just awful.

Judging from this video, the Army doesn’t teach soldiers how to shoot pistols. 🤦‍♂️

Well this is definitely one of the most cringe worthy things I’ve seen in a while.

Amazing how many "soldiers" don't use proper grip on their handguns, and how many of them seem nervous or afraid of handling their weapons.

The weapons handling and overall safety in this video is absolutely laughable. The Army needs to step up their pistol training.

After 20yrs Army I have multiple pistols and rifles and taught my son how to sight, shoot, and safety as well as general range "etiquette". My son made it to E5 (Army) last year. His problem is that as an Army mechanic and an NCO his unit seldom trains, almost never does organized PT, and has not been to the qualification range in over a year. New unit this year and received about 1/2 of his issue and was told that he would have to buy what he needed for the field. His soldiers told him it has been like that for a long time. I joined the Army in 83 and most of my senior NCOs were combat Vets. Most of our gear was Vietnam era as were our radios and trucks but we did some type of training every day. PT at 0430 and last formation was at 1800. Some days we would sign out our weapons and carry them around all day just to get used to handling them. It is not the fault of these Soldiers that they cannot handle a weapon properly. It is the fault of the senior leadership.

Do you really think that the Army is going to have a soldier say anything bad about the pistol?

How can these guys have an opinion on how the Guns operate, they dont even know how to grip a firearm

STOP with the computer voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a USAF SP in the mid 70's. Our sidearm was a .38 cal. 6 shot Revolver. The ammo they gave us would rattle down the barrel. The military has come a long way. A funny story, I was guarding a camouflaged C-130, it was about three AM when a bus pulled up to my gate, very unusual for that early, so I decided to have a look inside. I walked up the steps and when I turned I saw the bus was completely full of Green Berets, with all their exotic weapons. To their credit, no one laughed at my .38 revolver.

I thought this was a video of what our guys thought about this New Pistol! Where are the Interviews?

I was in the Army in the late 60s and shot the Colt M1911A1 semi automatic with never a problem. Today I have a custom 5" M1911 clone, shooting .45 ACP +p FMJ. I have shot Glocks and S&W semi autos but still prefer the grip and feel of the classic 1911. The trigger action is smooth and solid, being superior to anything else I've shot. Being a single stack magazine with a slim frame, the 1911 not only fits well in your hand but it conceals well in a shoulder or IWB holster.

I like how the noob at about

Hey, let’s ask a bunch of newbies who have minimal firearms experience what they think of the new sidearm!

This pistol has a remarkable resemblance to the Sig 226. I was in law enforcement in the ‘80’s and everyone wanted the Glock. It didn’t feel right in my hands, whereas the 226 was a great fit. It’s my go-to to this day.

I have not had a great deal of actual military combat experience with the pistol. Used mine exactly once. Had my 1911 in my hand when I ran into(literally) 3 NVA. I was running like hell for one of my squad leaders when a flare popped...

During my military service I was trained on M16 and 1911 limited training on the m60, Loved them all.
