Not so sure about that. 59,839 went to the commercial market, while 135,000 went to the army plus another 27,100 went to the Navy. Another 30,000 went to police units. Those numbers don't look like it was marketed as a primarily commercial weapon. If it was designed for the commercial market, then why did the military put their acceptance stamp on it? The commercial market, as I understand it, was the officer's rank and other higher rank officials that were allowed to purchase this military weapon.
Just some food for thought on this issue.
