I'm thinking P99 as well.

Does the P99 have a chrome bore and chamber?

It does not, but for such a small order (10,000 military service pistols) perhaps the barrel could be manufactured in Europe to these specifications by Walther GMBH or Radom? Who knows.
From what I can find nosing around the net, it looks like the Polish military Walther/Radom P99 Rad (In service wih a NATO country for more than two years!) may well have a chrome-lined bore.
It also appears that the pistol has been available commercially in Canuckistan.
Sorry, that was my bad.

Hilariously, the XD meets all those requirements. Croatia is a NATO country and the XD is their standard service sidearm. That being said, I would eat all of my hats if Canada picked the XD.
Although on the flip side, they bought Px4 Storms for their border patrol, so their is a national history of picking guns that no one else uses.
Mother of god. ^^^
They also want a mandatory less than 7.87" group at 50m, fired from a mechanical rest, 5.9" is desirable.
Also, NATO-STD 1913 rail... Kills Glock again.
Think for yourself. Question authority.
What about the 500 mean rounds between stoppages req?
In all seriousness, though, doesn't the XD require a trigger pull to field strip?
You know, I don't know if the standard XD models need a trigger pull to field strip, I only have experience with the "M" models which do not.
Chrome bore and chamber?
The primary thing that's always made me think the standard XD does is because a friend of mine managed to put a .40 caliber hole in his kitchen tile by not chamber checking his XD prior to a field strip.
Then again, my buddy could just be dumb(er than expected). Wouldn't be the first time.
