Earlier this month, the New Zealand Defence Force announced their current SIG Sauer P226 service pistol is to be replaced with the “new generation” (likely GEN 4) Glock 17 pistol. The pistols will be introduced into service across the New Zealand Navy, Army, and Air Force in the second half of 2016.
Lieutenant Colonel Dean Paul of the Land Capability Delivery Branch had this to say about the adoption of the Glock 17 pistol:
“Ensuring we remain a force equipped to succeed means supplying our people with fit-for-purpose personal protection weapons. This is part of our 2020 strategy for enhanced combat capability and we are pleased to be rolling out the new pistols next year.”
Australian company NIOA Nominees Pty Ltd was awarded the $1.8 million contract to supply approximately 1900 Glock 17s to the NZDF. The contract includes the pistols, along with ancillaries and through-life support.
This follows the announcement earlier in the year that the NZDF is replacing the Steyr AUG rifle currently in service with a Lewis Machine & Tool AR-15 pattern rifle. The particular model of rifle has yet to be announced.

VZ Grips the original innovator (and authority) for custom G10 gun grips is proud to announce its newest artistically crafted product. The VZ KeyMod grips (KMG). The KMG’s are attachable grip panels for your favorite KeyMod platform. They are precision machined in VZ’s very sought after proprietary textures and G10 colors. With innovation and function as their leading edge VZ did not just bring you their best, but partnered up with gun accessory giant Bravo Company USA® to bring even more to the table. All KMG’s feature BCM’s new patent pending Inverted KeyMod screw. Designed by Eric Kincel, BCM’s Director of Product Development and designer of the KeyMod system. BCM’s proprietary nut-less screw is an awesome feature for the KMG’s; it eliminates extra hardware and uses a T15 torx head that is already a standard for many of the VZ grip screws.
“We have been observing the rifle market for some time, and saw that there was a general lack of functional grip panels for the newer rail systems. We decided to design a product that would offer a true solution and when we partnered with BCM to utilize their proprietary KeyMod screw it was a no-brainer. Just another competitive advantage for us and a better product for the shooter.” -John VanZyck (President, VZ Inc.)
KMG’s will be available in 2” and 4” panels, 2 different contours, 3 different textures (Alien, RECON, Tac Diamonds), and numerous color schemes that match their existing handgun line. MSRP starts at $24.75 for the 4” and $22.75 for the 2”.
