Thanks for the comments so far. I was aware the military ordered quite a load of M9s in 2006, but I didn't know they also did so recently...

Concerning the "Modular" approach: I reckon that refers to th efact that the weapon should be equipped with a versatile accessory rail and operable w/ a flash and sound suppressor (the question occurs whether the comon ground needs a threaded barrel to attach a silencer can...?)

Yeah, maybe after all they should switch to the good old Colt Peacemaker again like they did after the .38 Long Colt performed so poorly on the Phillippines :-)
