Yes it is true, US ARMY intends to get rid of the newly adopted M17 pistols (full-size version) from its warehouses due to ... the transition to a new production model with manipulators (magazine release, slide release, safety switches, etc.) in black, not like this was in the original version, in Coyote Tan.

The guns will be available in stores in the USA in different states of use and with different markings.

Owning such a pistol can be a real treat for both collectors and sport shooters, if only because of the adaptation of the pistol to fire stronger 9mm P+ ammunition.
