I am. And the Glock 46 was tested. Yet the H&K SFP9 TR (a Variant of the VP9) won the contract.
There is no Glock46 in service with the Bavarian State Police. Glocks (17,19,26) are only issued to...

Amen.
Unfortunately most german police forces now destroy their old guns, instead of selling them.
What a shame...

North-Rine-Westphalia issues the P99 DAO.
Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Rhineland-Palatinate issue the P99Q.

That`s correct. The main difference between the SFP 9 SF and the SFP9 TR is the trigger. The "Technische Richtlinie Pistolen" (TR) for the german police forces demand a heavier and longer triggerpull...

When I left patrol about ten years ago attacks against the police (with and without fireworks) on new year were quite common. As were attacks with bengalos at football games, when I was in the riot...

Bavarian police officers may carry their service handgun off duty. Additionally we can optain a carry permit for one personally owned handgun. As far as I know all state police forces (except Berlin)...

As far as I understand this article it's still just a rumor. The photos where leaked and Glock didn't officially confirm them. Yet they seem to bei real.

This might be part of the problem, since our service ammo is a 94gr solid copper bullet.

As far as I remember the TR testing includes firing 50.000 rounds with five guns (10.000 rounds each) an there may only be 2 malfunctions in 1.000 rounds with each gun.

If I think about the...

I carry the SFP-9 TR (VP9) as service weapon and own a SFP-9 SF for target shooting. After firing about 2.500 rounds I have not experienced one single problem.
I'm not aware of any problems within...

So we checked the shooters and the ammo. With another brand of slugs accuracy improved to a 20-25cm circle at 50 meters.
Thank you all.

@ Hambo: I have no problem to put my ego aside and accept, that it was just our fault. But I`ve shot heavy recoiling rifles like the G3 and the K98 at distances up to 300m, so I don`t think recoil...

Last week, after a long time with closed ranges, me and a friend finally were able to do some target shooting. I used the oportunity and shot a little bit with my VP9 at 50m (about 55yd). I kept all...

As I have mentioned before: I don`t know shit about policing in the USA. But this is a real problem detectives (and other plainclothes officers) face all around the world. So maybe this information...

I see. But I`d still rather have 100 real Cops, than 80 Cops and 40 unarmed and nonsworn enforcement employees.

Well, this is dump. Why have a bunch of guys in uniform and marked vehicles on patrol, if they are unarmed and may not arrest?

A armed police officer can do traffic enforcement, then quickly turn...

As I have mentioned before, I`ve never done policing in the US. So I don`t know shit about much of the issues you face over there.
But from my perspective as a member of the bavarian state police:...

I can just guess. The Holster itself is about 50mm wide, while my VP9 is 33mm wide. The old Bianchi holster was 34mm wide and the P7 29mm. (1 inch is 25,4mm.)
So I think it`s more about the holster...

The Safariland SL637 is our duty holster for concealed carry. Quality seems to be good (but I`m not an expert in holsters), but concealment of my VP9 is poor. I liked the old Bianchi 82 carry lok for...

Thank you all.

The most destructive bullet seems to be the one with the best balance between velocity, weight and fragmentation.

If I get this right: A light and fast bullet can fragment and cause a impressive...

Well... A 4,6mm bullet fired from the H&K MP 7 travels at about 2.370 fps. This would mean, it passes the 2.200 fps line.

But as far as I understand Doc GKRs articel on this topic, it is not more...

As far as I understand this topic, a bullet fired from a handgun (regardless of design) is usually only able to damage tissue by directly hitting and crushing it. Temporary cavitation is usually...

Policing in Germany is mostly done by the states. There are some federal police forces, but they are all specialized (for example guarding the borders and the railroad system). We have no municipal...

The state police of Saxony-Anhalt decided to buy the Glock 46. As far as I know they are the first police force, to get this new gun.
