DND Releases Draft Tender for the C22 Modular Pistol

[dan belisle]

When Canada procures anything for the military we have to Canadianize it. Can't just buy off the shelf. So maybe the fde requirement is our way of personalizing the handgun when the rest of the world is happy with black.

That's racist. - dan

Works so good that even SWAT teams don’t wear black suits anymore because it made them stand out. Even in an urban area, the silhouette of a black gun will stand out more than FDE/CB

funny you say so there are still swat or equivalents still in black suits ...

Doesnt mean it’s the best color...

By those standards, it would mean that the BHP is a fine combat pistol because we are still trying to use it.

Pistol is in a holster anyways 95% of time anyways. Much of the colour won't be seen. If a soldier actually needed to use a pistol in combat, whether it is fde or black will be the least of his concerns.
