Reportedly, part of the funds for the original project was used to fund the Armscor RIA .45 cal purchase as an emergency measure. The remaining funds would go to a 9mm acquisition.

Looks like the AFP order was for the double-stack TAC Ultra FS HC model, but with the plain low-profile sights and rubber grips.

A bit large for daily carry, but I suppose if the troops are allowed to open carry it might be less of a problem.

The TAC Ultra MS would fit more of a carry/defense weapon for off duty soldiers. The FS is just too big.
