The government, instead of buying an off the shelf replacement or perhaps tagging along with the US army on their selection, have instead gone it alone and also want Colt Canada to be involved. The time taken to purchase a simple handgun has entered into the comical zone. This started at least 15 years ago.
And now it has been announced the remaining 2000 or so are going to be destroyed. Why not send them to the Ukraine?
