I've never been a fan of the M9. The horrible trigger, terrible mil-spec mags, and the FMJ round never made me confident in the thing. If there was a round in the chamber it would go bang, but sometimes getting it there was the problem. Even with rotating our mags out and carrying 10-12 rounds in them the springs would still stick after a couple months. When you'd drop the mag a few rounds would fall out because there wouldn't be any tension from the spring.
I'm disappointed in the Colt I had high hopes for them.
When I was in Iraq the more capable units had Glocks not M9's, but we did give them all of our crappy HMMWV's.
