I posted a story on Military.com this morning with details on why the Marine Corps chose Colt to make its new Close Quarter Battle Pistol. Colt beat out Smith & Wesson and Springfield Armory, securing a $22.5 million contract to make up to 12,000 souped-up .45 1911s.

Seems ... reeeaaly expensive. Please read the story, and tell me what you think.
