German Bundeswehr Selects CZ P-10 F as New Sidearm

Reports indicate that the German Bundeswehr recently selected the CZ P-10 F as their new standard-issue sidearm after a competition conducted by Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw).

The new pistol which beat out the Arex Delta and GLOCK G17 will replace the Heckler & Koch P8 (based on the USP) and be designated as the P13.

The contract promises a minimum order of 62,000 pistols with a ceiling of up to 186,000 total pistols. A €25 million budget for the procurement has been submitted to the Bundestag.
