That might be a little overdramatic, but hey, it got you to click on the thread! LOL.

Seriously, what is the consensus of the 17/18 longterm.

Anyone care to predict?

Will the thing still be around in general issue in...

2060?

2040?

The M16 had about as rocky of a start as ever and here we are 50 years later.

The M9 had its teething problems and later substandard parts/magazines.

The 320 failures seem to be some magazine issues as well as operator training issues as far as failure to lock back.

My guess it will settle in fine.

That being said I think they should have gone M9A3 or Glock.

Or spent the money on body armor research and let the real pistol shooters buy whatever the hell they need.

There's nothing like jumping to conclusions. Read some things online and it all becomes clear, just like that.

Right?
