RFI is out for CBP's new 9mm pistol

[HCM]

Good point. There's more than enough money at stake to get the usual competitors to build to the specs outlined. SIG and Beretta already have guns that seem to meet the requirements (assuming the as-yet commercially unreleased sizes of the APX are functional). I would like to see Glock's, HK's, Smith & Wesson's, and FN's submissions when all is said and done.

A Gen5 gun with an MOS slide, front cocking serrations, the ability to mix and match slides and frames from differently sized guns and no mag well cutout would be a lot of people's ideal Glock.

Between CBP FO, USBP, Air & Marine, various OIG / OPR agents and special investigators there are between 43,000 and 45,000 armed LEO's in CBP so you are looking at about 50,000 pistols with spares, red guns, blue guns etc. In other words, a big enough order to make something new / unique for.

Aren't they currently using P2000s?

So...

Surplus P2000s? I'm game.

All in 40 though..
Does Barsto make a 40-9 conversion barrel? Might be a market demand soon..

Berretta APX ?

That would be really cool to think Beretta has just been waiting for this moment to show off the modularity if the APX.

Last I heard the various grip modules are vapor ware. But I am hardly in the know. Fingers crossed fo Beretta.

Is there a sub compact APX?

Hmm. There could be big market 40-9 barrels period, with all the 40 cop guns on the market these days. 40 is a perfectly fine caliber... for whatever reason, I just don't really have interest in it.

I heard they were going to offer different sizes at some point. Might be sooner rather than later...

Don't hold your breath. The Feds are barred from selling them.

Don't hold your breath. The Feds are barred from selling them.

Does that mean they can not be traded on new pistols as well?

Will not happen. Just like you won't see surplus G22's from the FBI or P239's from ICE.

Bill Clinton issued an executive order in the mid 1990s which has since been codified in the code of federal regulations (CFR Title 41 §101-42.1102-10(5) (c) ) which limits disposition of surplus federal LE firearms to destruction or transfer to another government agency.

They cannot even let the CBP / USBP Officers and Agents buy them much less sell them to the public. In fact there is an online petition to allow retiring fed LEOs to buy their service weapons and it has gone nowhere.

Unless congress acts or maybe trump issues a new executive order nullifying the relevant CFR reg those P2000,s are getting destroyed.
