Canadian Sidearm

Yoni Netenyahu · November 14th, 2006, 23:21

What sidearms do the CF use? I've never been able to find a proper answer on that question.

Lakonian · November 14th, 2006, 23:28

good question... I heard they're still using the Browning HP 9mm.

MADDOG · November 14th, 2006, 23:28

-Browning High Power 9mm-Still in service
-Sig Sauer P225-New issue

techobo · November 14th, 2006, 23:31

Hmm yet another reason for me to get a 226.

baraccuda · November 14th, 2006, 23:32

all belive it when i see it 1911 high power browning 9mm

MADDOG · November 14th, 2006, 23:38

No Browning HP not 1911
Favorite side arm of machine gunners in the CF.
Don't believe what people say these things are accurate and reliable except for weak springs in the magazines.

baraccuda · November 14th, 2006, 23:41

ops sorry. well on tour we just said 1911 sorry. but when i see it all belive it. MP's are issued the Sig.

This piece of equipment falls under the Category Weapons.
This Equipment is used by the following trades: Small Arms.

BROWNING 9-MM PISTOL

The Browning 9-mm pistol is carried by officers and soldiers who require a sidearm that can be rapidly drawn and fired, even in confined spaces. The pistol consists of a barrel, a slide, a breech block, a frame, and a 13 round magazine.
