Sidearms for Naval Aviators

That's nice that they are issuing the full size Sig. My old squadron was issuing the M11, which is a fine piece, but I always liked the full size weapons better.
While the grip is a bit on the big side, I would hardly call it a piece of shite. I don't have gorilla hands and I can shoot it just fine. If it goes bang every time you pull the trigger it is a decent firearm IMHO.
We were using the 229 last cruise (less than a year ago).
C-2 guys get 6 pencil flares.
That's what I flew with in The Stan and will again soon enough...
Definitely like it better than the Beretta.

He bowls overhand.
Just to clear the air: there are no small arms quals at OCS. The only thing you'll learn re: firearms is how to play with a non-functional rifle.
Gun sucks.
The trigger action makes it a POS...firstly, because the first shot is inconsistent with the rest. Secondly, because you have no resistance until the last millimeter or so when the gun will actually shoot (except the first shot).
Gun sucks.
why carry a sidearm? just dont get shot down!

Lets take that one step further.....why put yourself in a position to get shot down, join the chair force and fly UAV's!
On a related note, I wouldn't be surprised to hear if they still spend training money on sending their UAV guys to SERE.....
