Nice to see that the US isn't the only place with problems selecting a new pistol.
Contrast this with New Zealand; who essentially said, "Glock's are time tested, affordable and available; order some."
Canada's situation also kind of underscores the true military value of handguns. If they were absolutely essential, the worn out guns would have proven to be "must replace NOW" liability by now.
Honestly, the same sort of thing applied to the US hanging on to the M1911A1 instead of changing to the NATO standard 9x19mm in the 1950's. From some of the documents I looked at, some felt that the only real reason to change to the M9 was because of NATO standardization and not because we absolutely needed new handguns.
