These trials were boycotted by most of the arms manufacturers that submitted their designs in prior trials, with the only entrants being the Beretta 92F, slightly improved Smith & Wesson 459 and [[Ruger]] submitting their new [[Ruger P85|P85]].

In the 2000s, a new joint service handgun was started, the [[Joint Combat Pistol]], which was the result of a merger of two earlier programs: the U.S. Army's Future Handgun System<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fhs.htm |title=Future Handgun System (FHS)|first=John|last=Pike}}</ref> and [[United States Special Operations Command]]'s SOF Combat Pistol. However, the Army ultimately pulled out of the competition.
