Interesting.

Browning has had the luxury of several genius designs for nearly a century. Looks like they'll have to start thinking again.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I had to laugh at the article's sub-title:

I wonder if the Canadian Forces will follow the Brit's lead since AFAIK we still use the Browning Hi-Power.

On a related note, I found this site that lists handguns used by the Canadian military over the years to be pretty interesting.
