It is worth noting that the author is a retired soldier and may just have a preference for the older gun, and not the new fangled thing. Its not uncommon to see soldiers be hesitant about entrusting their lives to new pieces of equipment that's quality and reliability are yet to be proven. A perfect example would be the M1 to the M-16 transition. Initially a lot of the older soldiers HATED the M-16. Not only did it pack a lot less kick, (it was called a pea shooter) It also had a tendency to foul up and jam.
