    MCGREGOR RANGE, New Mexico - Staff Sgt. Tramel Gordon, an M1 armor crewman assigned to 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division and a native of Perris, California, fires an M17 pistol while attempting to qualify with his weapon, October 10. Among 1AD units, 3ABCT was the first brigade to field and fire the new M17. The M17 pistol has been chosen by the Army to replace the M9 pistol in a continued effort to remain adaptable through modernization, offering a lighter design and an internal striker firing mechanism to increase lethality and combat maneuverability.
