“I believe it’s going to be easier for the more novice pistol user that doesn’t get to shoot as much as our security forces members,” Gonzales said. The M18 is has a striker fire system, which provides a calmer pull. While shooting the M9, upon initial trigger pull under double action means that the trigger is cocking the weapon and firing it, while single action is just firing it. The lighter M18’s trigger pull lands consistently at 4.5 pounds.ĭouble action requires the weapon being fired to undergo two operations. If the M9 was operating under double action, the trigger pull could be anywhere between 9.6 to 16.5 pounds, and 4.5 to 6.5 pounds for single action. The most noticeable difference when firing the M18 is the trigger pull. “We’re updating a pistol that has been in service for a long time.”

In an effort to increase the lethality of the warfighter, the Air Force announced earlier this year that the 30-year-old M9 pistol would be put to rest and the new workhorse, the Sig Sauer M18 pistol, would be taking its place.
