What Pistol Do Marines Carry? [Solved]
Wow, the Marine Corps sure is making a big switch! They’re ditching the Beretta M9 and M9A1 that other services had been using, as well as their own Colt-made M45A1 and Glock-made M007. The new gun of choice? The M18. Talk about an upgrade!
M9 Pistol: The M9 is a semi-automatic, 9mm pistol used by the US Marine Corps. It is a reliable and accurate weapon that can be used for close-quarters combat or self-defense.
M45 Close Quarter Battle Pistol (CQBP): The CQBP is a .45 caliber pistol designed for close quarters combat and special operations use. It has an extended barrel and slide, allowing for greater accuracy at longer distances than the M9.
SIG Sauer P226: The P226 is a double action/single action, 9mm pistol used by the USMC as an alternative to the M9 in certain situations where more firepower may be needed. It has an ambidextrous safety lever and adjustable sights for improved accuracy at longer ranges than the M9 or CQBP can provide.
Beretta 92FS: The 92FS is another 9mm semi-automatic pistol used by the USMC as an alternative to the M9 in certain situations where more firepower may be needed. It features a reversible magazine release button, making it easier to reload quickly in stressful situations when time is of the essence
Marines carry pistols as part of their standard equipment. It’s a must-have for them, so they can be ready to defend themselves and their country at any time. They’re trained to use them with precision and accuracy, so they can protect us all!
