Blakenzy,
There's one word to answer why the military doesn't allow personal sidearms: Logistics. If you are in a fire fight and your .357 Sig runs dry, and your buddy tosses you a magazine of 9mm, what are you going to do?
There's also the multitude of types of ammo, gun parts, etc. This is VERY costly to maintain. With a standardized sidearm, you get commonality and easy replacement of parts.
