Research question

[sholio]

(I really *did* try to answer this via Google and visiting various military research sites before bothering you people. Really!) I swear I knew this once upon a time, but I don't seem to know it anymore.

The standard SGA pistol sidearm ... what make and model is it? Or do they use different ones? And how many rounds would a clip most likely contain?

ETA: A couple of people directed me to this very useful link: http://community.livejournal.com/atlantis/244926.html. I also found this site that talks about when and why the US military adopted the M9 and how many rounds are in a standard clip: http://www.ideamarketers.com/?beretta_92f_and_m9_semiauto_pistol&articleid=741381

Woo! Thank you! I knew that I had seen posts discussing this in various places, but I couldn't find any of them. This is exactly what I need to know. :)

Hi, I realize this is a little out of the blue, but I was hoping I could get permission to podfic your fic Long Road Home and its vignettes? This is going to be a part of amplificathon's Podbang 2009; I was linked to, and really enjoyed your piece.

Yes, but thank you. Guess I ought to go back and edit the post -- sorry to waste your time; I didn't even think of it!
