This week, polymer pistol powerhouse Glock announced a series of successful new tenders for their latest generation handguns from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
For years, police in the ultra-modern Asian city-state of Singapore have relied on .38-caliber revolvers as their sidearm. Now, after a lengthy review process that began in 2017, they will be switching to Gen 5 Glock 19s. In all, Glock says some 6,000 of the 9mm handguns will be provided to force.
“Trials performed by the Singapore Police have been extremely professional,” said Gaston Glock, the company’s founder, President and CEO, in a statement. “It’s also been one of the very few tenders that’s not only evaluating technical performance and purchase price but actual through life cost.”
Singapore, who has long equipped their police force with Taurus .38 revolvers and 10 rounds of ammunition, will be switching to Gen 5 Glocks to protect and serve a population of over 5 million. (Photos: Singapore Police Force)
Introduced in 2017, the latest generation of the G19 has a lot of new features such as the Glock Marksman
