New CF Service Pistol

Once in a while I see a post like this that gives me a really specific reaction.
Either it's meant as a joke, in which case it's laugh-out-loud funny, or it's meant to be serious, in which case it's laugh-til-you-tear-rib-cartilage hysterical.
But since I can't tell which, I don't end up laughing at all...I just feel this strange sense of suspended mirth.

Glock ruled out by 3-10 "The trigger not be required to be depressed as part of the dissassebly process."
M9 out by weight, DA/SA, adjustable Grip size etc.
Same for Sig.
M&PPro and HK P30L are possibilities but non-Nato adopted AFAIK.
Lots of police forces but not military.
Oh, and this contract is ####ing retarded. Work it out and get a G17, M&P9, USP or P30 and be done with it.

When I was in Europe this summer it was all Walthers and H&Ks for sidearms. Got me wanting to try out a Walther in .40.
Yeah, I went back to to check that.
Still not sure. I guess I might have to guess again. Not a big CZ guy, so I'll have to due some internet searching to be an expert on that!
An HK USP with deleted safety would fit this contract nicely... but if you think HK is going to divulge all their prints and manufcturing tech to Colt Canada, you're on glue.
This contract is horrendously poorly written, and it wouldn't surprise me to see no serious bids.
F*cking government idiots.

P30L fits perfect except for lack of Nato country adoption
Definite glue huffery going on at the contract writing phase.
Produced in Canada...that is ####ing brain dead.

Probably workout that way. Contracts & requirements & common sense are not in the same department...
Yep.
Yep again. F*cking braindead is right. Produced in Canada, by ANOTHER MANUFACTURER WHO IS A DIRECT COMPETITOR IN YOUR INDUSTRY.
It's not like "specs will be forwarded to Weyerhauser who will saw a wood block into the shape of your pistol." It's "specs will be forwarded to someone who has been your competitor for decades and will no doubt use your engineering specs to attempt the creation of a competitive product."
F*cking bat-sh*t insane.

This is not intended to be taken seriously, but I think the CF is getting down right kinky.

Just opened the file & read it.
Written by someone who has spent way too much time playing video games.
I think they just spec'ed an FN 5.7 in 9, or a Vector from the early 90's
