A recent issue of the Army Times had an article discussing your question. I recommend looking it up and making a selection based on your personal preferences. Personnel involved in or with knowlege of the ongoing testing/selection process are prohibited from discussing their findings/deliberations under penalty of law. (FAR) Besides - the military doesn't always get it right when they select new weapons and the military's criterion for purchasing hundreds of thousands of weapons might not make sense for you when purchasing just one.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
