Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Screechjet1: My thought was "how many M79s are still in arms rooms?" I was at Dugway Proving Ground way back in 2001, and the security force there still had three beautiful, museum-quality M79s in their arms room. That was the first and only time I’ve ever handled one. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re still there. |

Correct. The Pro model that has the long dust cover has "LDC" in the SKU. |

Yeah, was gonna say the same thing. The Romeo 1 Pro is actually pretty nice. It’s not the most durable but has nice glass. I had one on my P320-M18 for a bit. I ended up getting rid of it because there’s no way to have a rear iron sight with it. I just prefer suppressor height irons on my RDS equipped pistols. That doesn’t leave many options for the Sig slides that don’t have a rear sight dovetail. I’ve found the best option are the FCD plates that incorporate a rear sight dovetail. I have the RMR version on my P320-M17. I believe they also make an Acro version as well. |

Yes, they carry with the safety off. That’s pretty standard. I never went through the M18 qual, but during the M9 course/qual we were taught to carry round in the chamber, hammer down, safety off. The handful of times I was armed with an M9, that was how I did it. |

Can anyone confirm if that's true anywhere? Army- when I started it was in our agency policy to carry the M9 with the safety/decocker on. Only SRT was authorized to carry with it disengaged. When we transitioned to the M17 and M18 the verbiage was removed altogether. I carry with the safety On/engaged because my thumb rides on it like a 1911 and I disengage when I "punch out and go to work" with the exception of firing with thumb pec index during our qual at close range. |

Yeah, that’s a 4.7” slide with threaded barrel, not a X-Five. It’s not a bull barrel and the X-Five slide protrudes further than that on a Carry-length rail |

Looking through this thread, I must say I don’t believe a single one of these pistols is actually from the military. I was repeatedly reliably informed that the modularity of the P320 was a marketing gimmick and that it would never be utilized by a single branch of the armed forces.
J’accuse! |

The funny thing is that spoke with a guy who carried the M203 on troop trials at JFKSWS and recommended against it for general issue vs. the M79. |

And that $850 is IF you are wanting the optic it comes with. Personally prefer the RMR myself though. |

The civilian models will be available moving forward so i wouldn’t worry about them drying up or anything. LEO/ MIL pricing is in the $550 range and POWs are $650-ish. So considering it has the R1P i agree with the $800ish price. Cp |
