Originally conceived and designed to the requirements of the U.S. Army's Modular Handgun System competition, the Beretta APX line is now a popular striker fired, polymer-framed pistol design on the civilian market.

ARTV's Kelly Young puts the FN509 through its paces.

The U.S. Marine Corps is set to adopt the compact variant of the U.S. Army’s Modular Handgun System as its official duty pistol.

While much ink has been spilled on the “kinetic platform” (what most of us would call a “pistol”), when it comes to the adoption of the M17 MHS, there is one aspect that has not received much attention—the ammunition.

The U.S. Army adopted a new semi-automatic pistol, the M17 as made by SIG Sauer, in 2017. Now, with production well under way, the guns are serving with American soldiers all over the world.

The SIG Sauer P320-M17 will be hitting dealers' shelves in August 2018.

Even though FN didn’t win the big contract, the shooting public notched a win with the availability of the 509 pistol, and it's now able to accept a suppressor and an extended magazine.

How about a big heaping bowl of 9 mm? To paraphrase the iconic 1972 commercial for Life cereal, when it comes to the next sidearm of the U.S. Army, the soldiers like it—“They really, really like it.”

The Army News Service is reporting the 101st Airborne, based in Fort Campbell, Ky., will receive the first shipments of the new Modular Handgun System in November. The pistol is based on the commercially available SIG Sauer P320 and is chambered in 9 mm.
