[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 1775911, member: 97050"] yeah, can’t argue with that... but still that a pm2 with 9 levels or 10 levels of illumination is still expensive either way as it’s already a fielded optic. How much the marine corps settled at I’m not sure anymore, however I know that they rather you lose a rifle then a optic. Non the less, during solicitations, at least some of the ones I’ve been apart of, which doesn’t make me a expert on a compartmentalized process, companies have bent over backwards to provide spec requirements. Even Glock was willing to put in a thumb safety. It was good enough for SOCOM but not big army, whom I don’t care what they do...but had to do mostly because the requirements of the target crowd, units ordered, and where the funding came from. There’s at least 6 different forms of funding that I know of. This is why when someone says “oh the military is using this” it’s not necessary true or a lie. A particular unit/team might be using/fielding item X. The mk23 was a issued across the board weapon system...generally spending its time deep inside most armory’s never to see the battlefield...yet dudes still carried issued pistols...that weren’t the mk23.
