All I was saying was that if the government is considering, lets' say 5 pistols - and this one has a history or misfires or mishaps, and the company offering that model is engaged in legal matters as a result of issues from that model - it would be a fairly simple one to cross of the list, from a Public Works / Procurement standpoint.
If a senior procurement official in Public Works, who isn't up to date on modern firearms, is looking to eliminate various options in the course of choosing which model is selected - I'm just thinking this one may be one of the first ones they choose. (Not saying it is the right choice or not - again, looking at it from a procurement perspective.)
