This is why P250 slides are square and P320 slides are beveled. They literally filed the numbers off.
Goddamn. And the Army just wasn't sophisticated enough to know all this and see the potential problems? Or is it that you give them enough of a discount and they stop caring about troop safety?
There's a lot of rumors spreading that General Austin Scott Miller rigged the XM17 trials in favor of Sig, because he immediately got a job at Sig as soon as he retired from the armed forces.
Give the right brass and politicians a good cock polishing and enough money and they'll be too "dumb" to notice an elephant crawling up their asshole. The worst part is, Sig Sauer is a godtier maker and those faggots at Sig ARMS have literally slathered mud all over their good name. Not that Sauer didn't do it partly to themselves, as from what I know it was their idea to grant Sig ARMS the use of the Sig Sauer branding for the M17 contract. They thought it would boost their prestige to take credit and it fucked them over instead.
Sig ARMS has only ever made a single good gun. The SP2022. And it was only good because Sig Sauer designed it for them top to bottom and just let them build it to earn some rep in Europe.
It is technically a "new" design in that there was no P250 micro to convert, but in the end its still just a shrunk down P320. Its utter garbage. If you want a gun in that size class that is good, the Glock 43X or even the Hellcat are better options. Hellcats have accuracy problems though. I'm no Glock fan, but the 43X really is a fantastic little piece IMO.
The Army bought the Air Force's survival rifle chambered in a cartridge designed for killing groundhogs and turned it into their front line combat rifle. It's called the M-16.
Well, here's the thing. There was a Springfield Armory (the actual armory) project in the 1950s (60s? Can't remember) called SALVO that used a triple barrel and duplex cartridge to push a 5.6mm round at ~5,000 FPS. And then someone in the Army conflated that round with 5.56 and sold the M-16 to the brass based on the old performance numbers.

That's about as much of a confirmation as there could be.

What's your opinion on the P365? Was it designed by the European or American branch?

Oh yea. I forgot.
"ackshually, the 556 round is meant to wound the enemy, and force their combat medics to waste resources on them. that's why it's such a good round!"
