 The US Marine Corps started issuing the Glock 19M pistol to marines, which they call the M007, in May 2017. “The M007 has a smaller frame and is easier to conceal, making it a natural selection to meet the Marine Corps' conceal carry weapon requirement,” Gunnery Sgt. Brian Nelson said in a November 2017 Marines Corps Systems Command press release.
