I could see a case made the ergos of the Glock might not meet the standard. Glock grip and glock angle, real or unreal could well be very real with the top brass.

The M16 in part was supposedly chosen because it was so suitable for the average soldier. There could be those who feel the ergos of the Glock, in addition to the lack of an external safety make it a less prime choice than something else.

And before the flames start, yes I know many military forces and elite units use the Glock. The US military is very political and believe it or not, its even possible that some within the military many not favor the Glock. Probably the biggest factor overall is the current investment in Beretta and politics.
