Why a Green Beret chooses a Glock Pistol is explained in this Tactical Rifleman episode... "If you have followed Tactical Rifleman for a while and seen a few of our videos, you have probably noticed that I usually carry a GLOCK pistol. Many people, viewers, other instructors, military/LE/civilian alike; all like to say that I should carry something else. Now, you should note that my Safariland ALS Holster has a ‘connector” that allows me to swap holsters quickly. I have matching Beretta M-9, SIG 226, and 1911 holsters that will quickly plug right into my belt. So, if a military client shows up for a class with a different gun, I’ll set my kit up to reflect what the students are running. Give me a few days on my back yard range, to brush up, and I can run all the same drills with each of these other pistols. Training with the Beretta adds “Double Action” and decocking steps to the drills. The Navy’s SIG 226 adds the same but with slightly different steps. The Marine Corp’s new '1911' Combat Pistol adds an exterior manual safety, single stack mags, and a ton more time reloading. All are great pistols, and all our courses can be ran with them (and all other pistols).
