What problems has the army been experiencing?

Feeding and cycling issues. The first week i believe some random shit like after the first round fired it ejected the spent casing and a live round and then double fed. Can't remember but the gun has had nothing but problems now that the army adopted it

I’m sitting in runnings parking lot thinking about what Pistols I handled. They didn’t have the greatest selection but I handled a few. I was probably impressed the most with the g43x. I thought I wanted something other than a Glock but I kept on going back to the g43x. Gander outdoors has a better selection so I might head over there if I don’t go back in and buy the g43x.

Not to be that guy but you should have avoided the "m17" specifically because even the army is regretting the decision and having constant problems

One of my kids has one and has put thousands of rounds through it of all different kinds without a malfunction. I have shot it and its a nice shooting gun.
Can you provide us with Army spokesman voicing the official regrets and listing specific problems leading to those regrets?

You would think that the adoption of a new pistol for our military would be fairly easy to accomplish. This has turned into a real shit storm and the IG should be doing an investigation of the process start to finish. I don't give a flying fuck what gun they pick as long it is the best for the needs of our men and women in arms, not the special op's people they choose their own, but the hundreds of thousands that make up the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. This crap has to stop.! Robin

Hard to make a recommendation for you with no info on what you would like to accomplish with it, or knowing what is in the rest of your collection.

just bought a sig P320/M17 it's already back to the factory for repairs with out ever being fired bought it over the Beretta APX because the military adopted it even though I liked the trigger on the Beretta. wishing I'd bought the Beretta. had the opportunity to shoot a Dan Wesson 1911 in 9mm yesterday it was sweet. also can't recommend Kimber too highly or Colt or Smith . own them all and only keep what works for me also own a couple of Beretta 92's most reliable pistols in my stable little big and heavy but always get the job done

The slide had a burr on the right side of the slide that actually cut my hand. poor quality control in my opinion called them said to return it to my FFl as I couldn't be home to sign for it. turnaround time 3 to 4 weeks plus shipping time really really sucks
