Canadian Armed Forces looking to retire BHP by 2026

[crash277]

it would be awesome if it was just.. your pistol must use this ammo and this mag.. if you want to purchase your own go ahead.

 

[silverfoxdj]

.... assuming the Glocks last for 20 years .....

Doesn't matter procuring new ones are still cheaper than trying to rebuild old pre war guns

 

[Sharps '63]

We are the Glock.
Lower your pistols and surrender your magazines.
You will add our technological and ergonomical distinctiveness to your own.
Your military or law enforcement agency will adapt to service us.
Resistance is futile.]

Nails It! The ultimate decision will be politically based. Logic, reason and common sense will not apply.

Sounds like they couldn't get you laid in a whorehouse. Any modern auto pistols is fine.

 

[Canadian Sig]

Sig P320......Please God's of procurement.

 

[Sinasta]

Wrong thread.

i can imagine how much corruption, stupidity and nonsense goes on in government purchases like this... a Mexican cartel could probably do a better job and pull this off in 6 months and under budget...lol...

To be fair, the Mexican Cartels have a bigger budget than the CF, and don't have to answer to a bunch of crooked politicians - buy them, yes, answer to them, no.

I work in the procurement field. The devil is in the details. The technical specs and statement of requirement should be the minimum you are willing to accept. That minimum can't exclude all others but it sure can minimize the field to keep the crap out.
Having dealt with PWGSC, they can only work with what they are given. If you get crap, the statement of requirement is usually at fault.

Here's to getting the best possible.

HA

I gotta say, the Beretta APX looks like a Hi Point.... Whatever happened to attractive Italian design???

You mean in the sense that they both have triggers, slides and barrels? because I'm really not seeing it:

Glock may be out of the running. One of the requirements from the previous request was that the pistol should be able to be field stripped without being dry fired.

You need a eye test.

Sig P320......Please God's of procurement.

Now the US has chosen this pistol there really is no reason not to tag along. The 320 replaces a very good design. I suspect the 320 could be also considered for the RCMP should someone begin to think their pistol should be replaced.

Sorry Glock you just lost out on largest, most important military pistol contract to be let out for the next 30 years.

Take Care

For what it is worth both are butt ugly. Does that count?

Yes.

 

[enefgee]

So will this be as big as the French police contract - which Sig also won (with the Sig Pro)? They're pretty good at these large contracts.

 

[Lee Enfield]

Maxim-9

Rewrite the RFQ to fit the gun.

 

[rkm456]

Don't know how this plays out for the Canadian Forces contract, but I have it on pretty good authority that JTF2 is planning to ditch their SIGs for G19's.

 

[SLANTO]

+1 for Glock 17 or 19 as a replacement. The BHP is done. Make the pistol a core skill. I know doctrine and budget will not allow for it.
