RE: Pistol Replacement

Just like every other piece of kit in the CF, if they are maintained 
properly they will work.  Yes because it's a weapon, barrels will wear out, 
and sights will break/bend etc... but that is what we have Gun Plumbers for. 
  As for the Airforce carrying SIG Sauers, It doesn't really matter if you 
give those guys SIGs or Musket Pistols they couldn't hit the a barn if they 
standing inside it.  I'd be more apt to believe that the "wind" have the 
Sigs.  Not because it's a better pistol, but because it has more firepower 
(not to be confused with stopping power, both are 9mm).
