“The specific performance improvements of the MHS over the M9 include better accuracy, tighter dispersion, and better ergonomics, which when combined, result in a far more lethal pistol.”

Lethal is the Army's new catchphrase.

To go along w/ that have the ROEs changed so they don't have to wait til the other guy shoots first?

...a far more lethal pistol.

"That we still won't actually train people to shoot proficiently." (not that it's actually more lethal anyway)

Sorry I'm not especially fluent in military lingo. What the hell does "tighter dispersion" mean?

Interesting

Since so many people mistake accuracy and precision as synonyms, I assumed that “tighter dispersion” was used to mean more precise.

You lost me. Precise in what way?

That safety position/ slide stop looks like a nightmare for slide lock if you use the safety correctly

I never shot on an indoor range, but I was surprised to see all those soldiers on the firing line without Kevlars. Most likely, it was just a part of the dog and pony show which accompanied the Sig and Army brass patting themselves on the back.
