The Special Operations Group (GEO) and the Special Operational Security Groups (GOES), the elite units of the Spanish National Police, will have the new Sig Sauer full size Pro pistol P320. Spanish website Defensa.com reported that recently a contract has been awarded for the supply of at least 300 pistols for these units.
According to the website, the pistol received the best score after evaluations carried out by a team made up of members of the two units. Among the aspects that were evaluated are precision, ergonomics, performance of the standard sights, use with gloves, ease of changing chargers, handling of the included laser aiming and lighting system or that of the tactical holster.
The model adapted to the specific needs of GEOS and GOES has a straight trigger, tritium sights and a slide designed with a base for a holographic sight element. It weighs 840 grams and using the standard magazine, it has 17 cartridges plus one in the chamber.
The pistol adapts to hands of different sizes by being able to choose between three different grip sizes. Both magazine catch and slide catch are ambidextrous. In addition, holsters will be supplied that can be adapted for use on the leg, waist or chest.
The Israeli defense industry already has a strong hold on the military pistol market in Spain.
At the beginning of August 2021, Israel Defense reported that Emtan won the tender for the supply of 6,000 "Ramon" 9x19 mm pistols worth about 2.5 million euros to the Spanish Civil Guard.
