Both could be Tupperware. The G21 would fit the no external safety and the USP would fit the external safety. I guess TS would be a happy man if the USP was selected. :p

There are HK models without external safety levers.

This is supposedly a pic of the HK45, which is their entry into the JCP competition. I'm hoping it wins. :)

I'll be interested to see what the differences are with the new, yet to be released HK P3000.

It says 9mm in the pics at a show in France, but word is they'll offer it in the main 3 calibers.

Do We detect a (deserved) note of cynicism? ;) At this point I'd call it realism. Maybe whatever it turns out to be will get produced in the Colombus GA plant they've been touting. Though I'm not holding my breath on that either. Peregrino

Realism it is, they are beating the crap out of our gun makers, just as our car makers are getting the crap beat out of them. If our guys don't come up with new and innovative then they will go the way of the Dodo and that scares the crap out of me.

That would be the agreement I do believe. Good old made in th US of A.

They are government subsidized makers, own most of the US gunmakers, we no longer develop new small arms in military arsenals, and they are based in countries without our litigious legal system.

How can we compete?

We can't and that is what scares the crap out of me.

Until idiots realize that with thier political witch hunts, they are slowly turning us into a society that can not arm themselves for a conflict without outside help, we will continue down this path. What really pisses me is that it is political and not many of the "useful fools" really believe in the crap that they spew. They just say it to "capture" the idiot crowd. Look at Waxman's site and his anti gun crap and then realize that part of Waxman's staff are avid shooters at Perry. Something that makes you go Hmmmmm.

Thread Hijack: That pic on your avatar looks like a mountain in Nevada where my detachment, and a group of Seals practiced high angle long range shooting. Am I close? Is there a huge lake nearby?

Yes, it is Hawthorne, rocket mountain to be exact. We were there doing high angle shooting, testing some PDA programs, and generally having fun. I was shooting at the Destoyer Turret at the right limit.

Fun place and very easy to train. Low maintenance and no BS when opening and closing a range or getting ammo. Highly recommend it as a training site for not just High angle but a multitude of training. They are very flexible and open to just about anything that is reasonably safe. :D

What do you think of this point? Doesn't make much sense to me.

3.7.6. Weapon Shot Counter. The JCP should have a weapon shot counter to record shots fired (O). The shot counter, if provided, shall have a data collection device that connects the shot counter to a computer. The shot counter, if provided, shall have a Microsoft compatible software program that works in conjunction with the shot counter and the data collection device to allow the weapon data to be downloaded and stored on a computer. The shot counter, if provided, shall not interfere with any operations of the JCP.

The idea is sound, keep a round count on the weapon. The execution is a techie dream and an operational nightmare. What in the heck am I going to do with a computer chip in the weapon? Treat it gently so as not to break it, not freeze it? Why not just do what is supposed to be done and have the arms room guy ask on turn in, "rounds fired?".
