=== Third tests from 1983-1984 ===
By November 1983, a new program was started, now under the '''XM9''' name.<ref name=ThompsonXM9>Thompson (2011), Chapter: "Army Takes Charge"</ref> These later trials did not have all of the same pistols competing, as some had dropped out, and some were added to the competition.
This time the Army required 30 handguns and spares for each submitted handgun design. The magazine capacity requirement was changed from 10 to 13. The price was now a fixed price requirement for a procurement of 220,000 pieces. These changed requirements caused the elimination of some handguns which has participated in the first trial.<ref name=ThompsonXM9/>
