Colin Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 While the G17 or Sig 320 makes sense, political and favouritism will rear it's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzermann Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 While the G17 or Sig 320 makes sense, political and favouritism will rear it's head. All the pistols in the list are going to be adequate for the job. I personally like the Steyr M9, because it fits my hand better than the Glock does. Also low bore axis really makes it shoot more comfortabel than the glock. I hope it is Sauer & Sohn from germany that submitted the P320, SIG-Sauer USA has a spotty quality record as of late.Interesting that CZ UB has submitted several different models. Or you know, they could just overhaul their P226. Not much wrong wiht these and I doubt every swedish police officer is going to get issued an Aimpoint ACRO. As colin has said already, it will depend on the whole package deal and political machinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olof Larsson Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 What handgun is currently in use with the Swedish military? Since 1988, we have used the Glock 17 and Glock 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Werb Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 What handgun is currently in use with the Swedish military? Since 1988, we have used the Glock 17 and Glock 19. Relatively early adopters thereof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickard N Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Whatever pistol is chosen it will need to be lighter that the Sig Sauer currently used. That is one of the complaints of the gun. I doubt that it will be the Glock17 since they earlier had a demand of a separate safety plus I think there was a demand that it should be able to decock it (I don't think you can do that on the Glock, right?) /R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawes Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 Glock 17 can be ordered with a manual safety but not a decocker (IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzermann Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Glock 17 can be ordered with a manual safety but not a decocker (IIRC). A decocker wouldmake a glock inoperable, because it is always in a half-cocked state. But, yes manual safeties are a factory option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Tan Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Steyr M9A2 is very accurate for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
