About those Glocks....
BBC News - Glock 17 9mm pistols replace Browning for UK forces
Was I the only person that noticed:
After a tendering process which lasted just two years from start to finish, the MoD is buying the side-arms to issue to all three services.
Really? 2 years to choose a pistol? And it's not like they are assessing new unproven technology here, the Glock 17 is a 30 year old design.
Jesus, it only took 3 years for the USA Light Weight Fighter program to select the F-16 as the winner,
including the time to build and test fly the prototypes.
Got to love our streamlined MOD procurement process.
