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.
Wow…I guess HK has lost a lot of their power.
Hanael, Steyr, and now CZ are taking their market share…interesting.
Apparently, HK was too expensive.
DidHK even put pistol in the trial? CZ is a better option than a P320 but let’s not pretend this isn’t another example of picking the lowest bidder.
They weren’t down selected from the initial response to actual trial.
VERY surprised. When KSK chose the PDP I thought it was all but decided.
Funny enough the PDP is a bad pistol imho
The regular “P13” will be the better pistol of them both.
This version has an optic plate?
Yes.

If they choose CZ, it will be the CZ P10-C, not the F
