Article: Glock pistols approved for SOF Marines

Post by Chasbo00 »

In a Marine Corps first, the service recently added a Glock pistol to its list of authorized individual weapons, optics and modular attachments.

However, the 9mm semi-automatic Glock 19 pistol is officially approved for use only by personnel assigned to Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, according to a force-wide message issued in mid-February. In fact, the pistol will carry a non-Marine inventory number because it is a U.S. Special Operations Command asset, according to the message.

Good read. G19's are a good choice for sure.

My G19 was my first Glock and is responsible for my live affair with the brand.

Incidentally my neighbor carried the G19 on deployment as a SF operator.
