French defense procurement agency (DGA) has received a batch of 15,000 new Glock-17 FR semi-automatic pistols. According to Shephardmedia.com website, almost 14,600 pistols remain to be delivered by the end of 2022 under a December 2019 contract between the DGA and Glock.
The 9mm semi-automatic Glock-17 FR sidearm pistol weighs 700g with a 4.5-inch barrel and 17-bullet magazine pistol and is gradually replacing the PA MAC 50 and PAMAS G1 in French service. Some 80% of the Glock-17 FRs are destined for the French Army, with 10% for the French Air and Space Force, 8% for the French Navy and 2% to be kept in reserve or used for miscellaneous purposes.
At the same time, the German website Soldat & Technik reports that the German Federal Ministry of the Interior has ordered several hundred handguns and accessories from Glock, presumably Gen. 5 pistols. The stock of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and its subordinate areas - these include the Federal Police, the Federal Criminal Police Office or the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution - now includes 466 Glock 17 Gen. 5 FS including holster and light module as well as 324 Glock 19 Gen. 5 FS including Holster and light module, plus 20 Glock 17T Gen5 FX/FOF training guns and 20 Glock 19T Gen5 FX/FOF training guns.
