Finally, after allmost 40 years, the bavarian state police is looking for a new handgun to replace our old H&K P-7 PSP.
Competitors include the H&K SFP 9 (VP9), the Walther PPQ M3, the SIG P320 Compact and... the Glock 46.
I was stunned, because the technical guidelines for german police handguns require that a pistol must be able to be stripped, without pressing the trigger. Glocks failed to pass this test, so they have allways been restricted for the use by special forces only over here.
I then looked at some pictures of the pistol. To me it looks pretty much like a gen 5 Glock 19, except of a additional device at the end of the slide. I asked a colleague and learned, that this was kind of a decocking lever, to enhance safety for the stripping process of the gun. So now it passes the tests of the technical guideline.
Has anyone additional information about the Glock 46?
