a book by a former agent talked about how he hated the Uzis and how they would jam all the time during practice. I also always thought the Uzi was kind of a spray and pray weapon instead of an accurate weapon.

Most federal agencies use the Sigs now except the FBI and US Marshals who still use the Glocks

Which is why I wonder why the military still uses the M9 Beretta 9mm as their sidearm and not the Sigs
im sure it has something to do with politics....

They generally arrange fairly long term contracts for weapons. Winning a bid usually means you are the supplier for at least 10 or so years.
