Marines Allow Operators to Choose Glocks over MARSOC .45s

Glock 19The Real Revo

I guess not all Marines favor the 1911 platform.

From Military.com:

The Marine Corps has authorized MARSOC operators to carry Glock pistols, since most of the elite outfit’s members prefer the popular 9mm over the custom .45 pistols the service bought them in 2012.  

The Corps issued a Feb. 2 Marine Administrative Message, or MARADMIN, that green-lighted Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, or MARSOC, units to use the Glock 19, a proven design used by many units in U.S. Special Operations Command.

The reliable, easy-to-maintain 9mm features a polymer frame and a 17-round magazine.”
