The Glock is idiot-proof and already in use by some NATO member's militaries. If it is going to remain a 9x19 - I say go with the new G17M. It's relatively inexpensive and easy to maintain in the field.
Marine SOCOM units already use the Glock 19. I believe the Glock platform would be a good choice. Then again if you look at the on again/off again/on again life of the 1911, it also is still in use by the Marines....ther are still some original WWI framed 1911's being used by SF units...(believe it or not).
