Yeah, of course I'm far from denying that the caliber is only ONE aspect out of many in such a project, still it occurs to me that it should be the first to be settled, otherwise it would lead to a comparison of different makes AND different calibers in one go which would be comparing apples and oranges in my opinion.

The fact that the DoD seems to continue to purchase high quantities of M9s indeed seems to thwart the whole MHS project...
