France orders more SIG SP2022's

[Slater]

Maybe there's more to it, but 580 pistols for $281,580 sounds a little steep:


"France’s Ministry of the Interior has announced the purchase of a new batch of SIG Sauer SIG ProSP2022 pistols for use by the National Gendarmerie. The contract worth 248,299 Euros (or $281,580) was announced in mid November.

The Ministry of the Interior’s procurement department, the Service de l’Achat, de l’Équipement et de la Logistique de la Sécurité Intérieure (SAELSI), handled the contract for the 580 pistols. These will supplement the over 200,000 reportedly originally ordered."

$485 per gun? I 'd call it a deal.

SigPROs seem cool until you realize it’s a Sig.

They could do a lot worse.

Wonder if this is at all related to the yellow jackets.

I've been happy with mine. It was my first handgun, and I've run a few courses with it and it hasn't given me any problems that weren't self induced (thumb on slide lock, one squib from my first reloads, etc.) I have approximately 15k rounds thru the gun, and I'm planning on sending it back to Sig for new springs, once I put an FNX 45 on order.

It would literally boggle my mind if the French procurement process could move fast enough for this to be the case. 😀

428 EURO per pistol, that's not bad. Frankonia in Darhmstadt, Germany is charging 799 EURO for the same pistol and even mentions the French police in the description. Firearm prices are interesting in Europe. You don't want to know what they are charging for a 320.

They need more because the yellow jackets took away many the police had before riots, assault rifles also.
