I was under the impression the Military was going to drop that piece of crap and go back to the .45 cal. I heard it was due out in the next year or two.
I will say the Berretta is very comfortable to hold but its accuracy is not as good as the M1911 nor does it have the stopping power of the .45.

I found it odd way back when we were first issued these firearms why the U.S. would sign a contract for a Military Firearm to a once MAJOR U.S. Enemy.
