Will 2021 see a new pistol buy?

[Colin Parkinson]

I can reload 9mm for about $0.15 (plus time) at over 600rds an hour on my Dillion XL650.
But I hate picking up brass, so I generally shoot factory - if you buy it by the 50,000s it's not that much more money.

LOL I need to go shooting with you, I am such a brass slut....

 

[OldSolduer]

At the rate its going you'll be lucky to get a water pistol....

Probably should be changed to will 2022 see a new pistol buy.

 

[PuckChaser]

I'm sure you meant 2032...

 

[Colin Parkinson]

They wait to 2044, so they can celebrate the 100th year anniversary of our pistols.

What if this is the way the CAF gets 2% of GDP?

MD Charlton has won the tender and will begin delivery of the C22 (Sig P320) in mid 2023.

Canada awards contract for new Army pistols - Canada.ca

Today, the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence, announced a contract award valued at $3.2 million (USD) to provide the Canadian Army with new pistols and holster systems. Following an open and transparent competitive process, M.D. Charlton Co. Ltd. of Victoria, B.C., was awarded...

Huh, an actual pistol buy. How about that…

And MD Charlton are a good bunch to deal with.

 

[GR66]

Anyone know how much commonality the C22 version of the P320 will have with the M17 version used by the US?

I’m sure it was in the tender and I missed it. Anyone seen what they’re buying for the holster?

So long as it isn’t that Bianci piece of crap…

Holsters will likely be a follow on procurement.

7,000 pistols is like an average Police Department in the US, but I am really glad to hear this. I just fear what they are going to do with BHP's.

Holster is part of the contract - so whatever MDC likely submitted with the bid. Or in true Canadian Fashion whatever they rep with the highest margin…

 

[dapaterson]

I am surprised, frequently they procure ancillaries like holsters as a separate contract. Definitely an improvement.

Pffft. All pistols at all are verboten.

It’s only an improvement if you get a decent holster. Otherwise it’s a total boondoggle.

Finally. Let’s hope we don’t snatch defeat out of victory.

Australia also announced last week that they chose the P320. They are also going a step further though and jumping all in with their plan to mass issue miniature red dot optics and weapon mounted lights with all their pistols. That is something that is basically bleeding edge even for police services let alone a military.
