Naval Special Warfare adopts the Glock 19

La unidades de Guerra Especial de la US Navy adoptan la Glock 19 en reemplazo de la SIG P226.



This past week the Naval Special Warfare Command made a decision to pick up the Glock 19 as the SEALs new sidearm.
They will slowly begin to phase out the Sig P226, and replace those with the Glock 19. There is nothing wrong with the Sig P226. It has served the Teams for many years and is a proven reliable system. However, as firearms evolve the military needs to keep pace. In this case the move to the Glock 19 makes sense.

The Glock 19 has a lot to offer in a compact package, and is by far the most popular platform Glock makes. I personally use, and carry the Glock 17 on a daily basis.
While the Glock 17 is the full size variant of the 9mm, the Glock 19 is essentially the same, just a bit smaller package. With that said I will give you my reasons for why I believe the Glock 19 will be a solid platform for both the SEALs, and MARSOC (who adopted the Glock 19 at the beginning of the year).
