The purpose of a modular pistol would be for diversity and convenience. A modular pistol would allow the user to swap out parts to meet situational requirements. At the same time it would give the Army one single weapon which would have many applications. A tanker might not need the same type of pistol as a military policeman etc., etc.
Caliber, barrell length, and grip size are the three components which they want to be interchangeable. I would imagine caliber to be the most important factor, with barrell length being the second most important. From what I read I don’t think that this is to be an all encompassing sweep. This project does seek to find a replacement for the M-9. I agree with the versatility that this concept would give the Army. I like the concept of versatility and flexibility as you can see by the way that we use so many designs for our custom military rings.
