Aviano CATM Receives New Weapon
An Airman with the 31st Fighter Wing loads an M18 SIG Sauer Modular Handgun System magazine during a Combat Arms Training and Maintenance class at Aviano Air Base, Italy, July 14, 2020. Aviano received M18 handguns last April and began training at Aviano on June 1, 2020. The modular design of the M18 handgun provides improved ergonomics, target acquisition, reliability and durability in comparison to the M9 Beretta, which the Air Force has used for 30 years.
