The APX is a far better pistol than the P320. Beretta did their homework and proper R&D with that design. The P320 has a better ecosystem, but that’s because everyone in the US pukes over themselves to pick the same gun XYZ agency/unit/ninja force picks and the US Army is a big XYZ.
However, the APX has picked up some major contracts, notably the Brazil National Police for 159k guns. Safariland makes a 6360 for the APX so altering the holster design, or making it out of safari seven in whatever color they want wouldn’t be too hard.
Rampart International of Ottawa, the firm that represents handgun manufacturer Glock in the Canadian market, filed a complaint with the Canadian International Trade Tribunal (CITT). Rampart alleges the government-run competition favours Glock’s rivals, Beretta and Sig Sauer. As a result, the CITT has requested the federal government put any contract award on hold. Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) has told those firms who want to bid on the pistol replacement project that they now have until Oct. 1 to submit their proposals. That will give the government time to figure out how to respond to the CITT complaint.

Nothing against Rampart, I really like those guys. But I'm rooting for the APX to somehow pull through from behind, even though I haven't been paying attention and still know this is never going to happen.
Although I guess Canada Customs went with the PX4.
And this is Canada, a faint hope is enshrined in law.

This is a thread where I built a boat I designed and which I very occasionally update with accounts of using it, which is really fun as long as I'm not driving over logs and blowing up the outboard.

I'm REALLY hoping that the CZ P10 series wins the contract as it would mean more duty gear options. The lack of duty gear is a viable reason for agencies to not consider the CZ.

I had an ER nurse in a class. I noticed she kept taking all head shots. Her response when asked why, "'I've seen too many people who have been shot in the chest putting up a fight in the ER." Point taken.
I'm not a striker kind of guy, but I thought the P10 fits in Glock 17 holsters?
