New Dutch Policepistol

Not as far i know, the Dutch police have 250 of them in use.
The 2 piece trigger/safety system can be snagged if carried in an open holster, here police have an holster completely covering the trigger and trigger guard.
The Glock is an very reliable pistol, but does not fulfil the new demands the police asks from the new pistol.

For us as self defence or plinking at targets, it is accurate, and reliable.
But then in the USA you have a lot of good weapon makers that have a line of ( cheaper) and high quality reliable pistols to fill that niche.

Real high quality European target pistol is the Swiss made Hammerli P225S, costing an arm and leg...
The P 210 ain't bad either ;)
Ammo, Geco, RWS, Dynamit Nobel Lapua. most are merged now.( RWS Nobel)

Before all hell broke out in the Balkan we used Prvi Partisan ammo, not for shooting, for the brass, cheap as chips and high quality.
European 9mm rounds can be quite hot, so check with your gun for that.
RWS also has a steel jacketed copper clad bullet, It's lead, then steel, then copper. Stick a magnet on it, they are called GMCS bullets (gilding metal clad steel.
Might be illegal in the USA, here no problem, just watch your backstop...:mrgreen:

Dang double post.....

More violation of peoples rights :( Police should be disarmed and nonviolently trained.

Hello.

I never said the RFID chip has anything to do with the safety.
What I said was that it is electronic.
In the Texas prison system there is something very close to what this pistol has but it is more mechanical.

Rudy, give it up.

Of all the failure modes a Glock has (and like any other pistol, there are a few), I've never heard of this being one of them. Broken springs and the like, sure.

The Glocks may be ugly (and they are butt ugly), but they are among the safest and most functional pistols out there. Other manufacturers are moving to a similar trigger/striker mechanism because it is positive yet extremely resistant to accidental discharge. The Glocks are amazingly resistant to malfunction from dirt and grime, as well.
