The GAO also denied that challenge, finding that &#8220;any errors did not prejudice Glock in the competition,&#8221; according to White&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either Glock, Sig Sauer or the Army can request reconsideration from GAO. Each entity has 10 days after the basis for reconsideration, in this case the denial, is known to file the request, according to GAO regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original protest did not stop Sig Sauer and the Army from moving forward with the project, in part because Glock filed the protest after the official deadline, GAO officials said previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April the Army announced that soldiers with the <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/articles\/the-armys-new-handguns-are-going-first-to-the-101st-airborne-fort-campbell\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/articles\/the-armys-new-handguns-are-going-first-to-the-101st-airborne-fort-campbell\">101st Airborne Division<\/a>would be the first in the Army to field the new handgun later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company released the P320 in 2014. It is adaptable to fire 9 mm, .357 SIG and .40 S&#038;W ammunition. The Army will use the 9 mm variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The P320 is a polymer striker-fired pistol that can be adjusted in frame size by the user and has interchangeable grip modules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government Accountability Office has denied a protest from Glock Incorporated that sought to have the government reconsider it\u2019s awarding of a 10-year, $580 million contract for the Army&#8217;s new handgun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":30180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":70,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["your-military","news"],"primary_category":"your-military"},"10":{"categories":["the-americas","global"],"primary_category":"the-americas"}}},"categories":[72,12,13,70],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3366],"class_list":["post-46489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gearscout","category-news","category-off-duty","category-your-army"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"VL537DZK5VGLZMXSDB4P63WO4Q","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-army\/2017\/06\/05\/government-rejects-glock-protest-army-s-new-handgun-will-be-a-sig-sauer\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Government rejects Glock protest;
