(GunReports.com) — Sig Sauer Model P250 has been selected as the official duty pistol of the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice. The P250 will replace the stock of Walther P5s and Glock 17s currently in use by the Netherland police.
Approximately 42,000 P250 variants will be delivered between 2011 and 2013.
This contract marks the first time in 25 years that the Netherland police service has chosen a new sidearm. The P250 was selected over offerings from Walther, Heckler & Koch, and Beretta.
In addition to duty pistols, the multi-million dollar contract will require Sig Sauer to provide training pistols, “blue” instruction pistols, Simunition-adapted pistols and cut-away pistols.
