That sounds a LOT like specs for the present H&K SOCOM-23 45 caliber pistol in use already. The numbers specified are far more than what is needed to outfit the spec ops community, so maybe the big ol' bottomfeeder will be available to a wider range of personnel. They could do a LOT worse.

Para Ordinance could feel that bill along with Glock too.

The suppressor mount requirement will mean an adaptation for most of the service pistols currently commercially produced. No big thing, but the H&K SOCOM was built with it right from the git-go.

Al,

I believe Glocks, that we don't see over here, have that too...along with full auto's. Now I've see a full auto Glock at the big KY machinegun shoot.
