Dutch Police Adopt Sig P250 Variant

txshurricane · 01-28-2011, 06:51 AM

The Dutch police force is apparently trading in their Walthers and Glocks for a variant of the Sig Sauer P250 9mm. This specially manufactured model is being monikered the Sig Sauer PPNL (Politie Pistool Nederland). The difference in labels seems to be purely for inventory purposes, so far - there doesn't seem to be any specific differentiating characteristics on record.

45,000 police officers will begin the training program this year and on through 2013. Training officers will be given priority, so that new recruits can be issued the new sidearm directly.

Final note: the Police Internal Investigations Department reportedly monitored research and trials for the P250, and found no "irregularities". That's the Sig Sauer we know and love!

"No irregularities"... what a Dutch way of putting it

Always a good thing for Sig to get another contract.
