That is interesting CW5 Jack Cardwell that
1. the U.S. Navy plans to field 60,000 of the Army's new Modular Handgun System to replace its stock of M9 pistols.
2. the Marine Corps has also budgeted money in its proposed fiscal 2019 budget to purchase 35,000 MHS pistols to replace its M9, M9A1, M45A1, and M007 pistols.
3. the Air Force and Coast Guard have also placed orders to purchase MHS, according to Sig Sauer
It is noteworthy that each of the Military Services has recognized that the modular Sig Sauer is a suitable replacement for the service side-arms.
"The Navy has contracted with Sig Sauer to procure 60,000 Modular Handgun Systems,"
The compact XM18 variant of MHS "will replace the Beretta M9 and Sig Sauer M11 sidearms that are currently in the fleet," Anderson said, adding that "money has been allocated for contracting this year, with delivery to the Navy to commence in FY19."
The Army awarded Sig Sauer an MHS contract worth up to $580 million in January 2017. The 10-year MHS agreement calls for Sig Sauer to supply the service with full-size XM17 and compact XM18 versions of its 9mm pistol.
The Marine Corps has also budgeted money in its proposed fiscal 2019 budget to purchase 35,000 MHS pistols to replace its M9, M9A1, M45A1, and M007 pistols. Marine Corps Systems Command officials declined to comment on the budget submission.
The striker-fired MHS pistols can be outfitted with suppressors and accommodate standard and extended-capacity magazines. There is also an accessory rail for mounting accessories such as weapon lights.
The Air Force and Coast Guard have also placed orders to purchase MHS, according to Sig Sauer. The other services are authorized to purchase the MHS through the Army contract, according to Tom Taylor, chief marketing officer for Sig Sauer."
