The replacement of the Brownings is a low priority for the army. Sidearms were recorded as having killed zero insurgents by the CF in Afghanistan. Lots of other areas where the money could be spent more effectively. The news is now out that the CF is parking close to 50% of it's B vehicles as a cost cutting measure.
As for border services receiving sidearms, I am sure they are enjoying having to wear their vests and sidearms on both hot days and cold (that's sarcasm by the way). For the number of arrests at gunpoint they are making, it does not seem like money well spent.
As to the complaint that the magazines fall out of the BHP while firing, I have never seen that happen, and I fire a BHP in competitions all the time. Anyone else ever seen this?
