"Earlier today in an internal message to the Secret Service, Director James Murray announced the adoption of the same technology I still recently selected by the US Customs and Border Patrol, the 9mm Glock 19 MOS Gen 5." "Everyone in Secret Service, including uniformed division members, will be issued the G19 MOS Gen 5 9mm to replace their current SIG 229 pistol in .357." Additionally, SOD will issue the G47 MOS Gen 5 and G26 Gen 5 in 9mm.
Members will receive new equipment training and be issued the new sidearm along with Pistol light and Holster.
The weapons will be purchased off of the CBP contract and transition will be completed by 2021.
shouldn't they have suppressors so they don't blow out the president's hearing. they can be pretty small nowadays
Logan Turner
I don’t understand why they don’t use the HK p30. Guess glocks are cheaper to mass produce
Logan Long
hk won't exist next year which would make completing the order difficult
Anthony Perez
>lolwut
Christian Richardson
>article about gen 5 >picture of a gen 4 >baka
Lincoln Flores
Is this supposed to reference HK's disappointing/declining sales? I read somewhere that the last quarter didn't look so good
Parker Watson
they're bankrupt. They would have shut down at the end of their last fiscal year if they hadn't gotten a couple huge loans from one of their shareholders who will be fucked when they finally go down. sales haven't improved this year so yeah, bye bye hk
Aaron Ortiz
You’re spreading disinformation HK is fine. They aren’t going anywhere
they sell heavy as fuck AR's with no chrome lining, a few barely decent pistols, and NOTHING else. And their mp5 is ludicrously expensive when Turkish and domestic models are exponentially cheaper on the exact same tooling.
give me a g36 clone
give me a 416 clone
give me an mp7 pistol chambered in 5.7x28
give me better ump45 options
>they wont, because fuck you
Landon Foster
RIP .357 Sig.
Leo Torres
unlike you, underage phoneposter, I actually read articles rather than just the headlines. Do you think 5000 rifles can wipe out their well over 200m euros in debt, which their own auditor (KPMG) says they don't have the liquidity to cover? it might barely help pay off some the millions in fines that the german govt has put on them for selling rifles to Mexican drug cartels.
Carter Thompson
When you have their budget why would you drop the .357 sig for 9mm?
Nathaniel Price
will sig continue to be used by various LEO agencies, or is it about to go the way of the smith and wesson 59 series
>5000 rifles >sold to the US Army now i havent read any articles but that sounds like something the US army would spend 1bil on easily
Jacob Roberts
it's not standard on any gen but is an option.
Brayden Ramirez
What makes you think the German government is going to let their pet small arms manufacturer go out of business?
Mason Robinson
because germany is going to go out of business too
Joseph Lewis
The slide pictured reads "Gen 4"
Ryder Gonzalez
>give me a g36 clone >give me a 416 clone But they do. >give me better ump45 options Why would they, USC didn't sell so whats to indicate that another attempt would?
Jaxon Walker
Guys I’m scared. I really want a usp before HK goes under. What do?
Eli Thompson
>200,000 per rifle Nigga wut?
Logan Hernandez
I fucking hate all of you. I hate you all so, so fucking much.
Hi, General Smith here. 200,000 per rifle? They must be outstanding rifles. I've already had my aides run through simulation tests using the new IPS System (Instant Procurement System System). I'm sold and you can go ahead and get the batches ready, the sooner they're helping our boys out the better. We spare no expense when it comes to making sure everyone comes home, that's the most important part!
Jackson Phillips
Dude, I CAN'T FUCKING LEAVE
Ryan Evans
I guarentee without a doubt that if HK started selling semi auto G36s to the US civie market. They would sell out.
Blake Lopez
Post proof HK sells semi auto G36 to the public. Amd not a fuckin conversion kit
Brayden Gray
Tommybuilt is already selling them, including 300blk and pistol variants with 'braces'
Brandon Watson
Glock is better than hk in every way. Da/sa is also for retards which is why everyone has moved away from it.
Oliver Fisher
HK243.
Christopher Russell
Unfortunately that's the situation we all find ourselves in here
Robert Williams
It should be mandatory that feds and cops have DA/SA guns
Landon Hughes
>Glock is better than hk in every way. I honestly can't tell if you're trolling, inexperienced, or retarded
>Probably inexperienced, might own a Glock maybe, can't hold a 1" 5 or 10 shot group at 7yds with pistols, doesn't realize HK guns are nearly the same price as Glock, and is a total tool
Dylan Carter
Give me an mp7 in 4.6x30 Give me a standard sized mp5 Give me a hk93 Also hk91 Also a real subcompact p30/vp9 Give me a single stack .380 and 9mm
H&K really has no one to blame but themselves. Their stupid mag prices, their slavish devotion to mil/LE contracts. Fuck those kraut colt-tier idiots.
John Wright
>guy says glock is better than hk >you cant tell if hes trolling >cant tell if hes trolling maybe if you stopped for a second and realized that glock perfection™ is a term for a reason you'd realize that he's not trolling and you're an idiot.
Jaxson Reed
TAKE THAT DOUBTERS. TAKE THAT BITCHES. GLOCK IS THE BEST. EVERYONE ELSE JUST IMITATES. SUCK OUR FAT BLACK GLOCK COCKS.
Juan Williams
Glock gives massive discounts to military and law enforcement, selling their guns at a near loss so that civilians will try to ape "the pros" and buy Glocks at a vastly overinflated price. When you're the bean counter purchasing for an organization, price comes before all else.
Angel Anderson
But it's an ironic term used to mock Glock owners for buying a gun that costs more than it's worth, then diving hard into the sunk cost fallacy and spending twice as much fixing it with aftermarket parts.
Tyler Jones
tfw i own a glock because i bought one while active and it was cheap as fuck compared to similar pistols
Lol post groups faggot. There is no legitimate reason hk is better than glock at all. You simply have a fantasy with it cause of movies/video games and so you have personal feelings towards it. It is objectively worse than the glock. Both are reliable and have accurate barrels, but the glock has a better trigger and firing system (striker > da/sa), a lower bore axis, and more part availability. Hk is also a retarded company swimming in debt and their customer service sucks.
Go ahead, come up with some bullshit reason for why your pet favorite gun is the best gun ever, I don't really give a shit. All you're going to say is "muh ergonomics" ignoring the fact that ergonomics is subjective and depends on the persons hands. Realize that a huge proportion of militaries, police departments, and spec ops use glock nowadays while hk is dying. It's not a coincidence.
Jose Price
>Give me a standard sized mp5 They really need to do this >Give me a hk93 No market >Also hk91 Nobody would buy them when PTR would be a third the price >Also a real subcompact p30/vp9 Bitch the SK is tiny >Give me a single stack .380 and 9mm That's fucking retarded >H&K really has no one to blame but themselves. Their stupid mag prices The mags are expensive to make, they mill the mag catch for christ sake >their slavish devotion to mil/LE contracts. Yeah, because they have to pay like 30% MORE in taxes on civilian sale guns. You'd chase contracts too if you could avoid almost $200 in fees on your cheapest products
Jace Nguyen
The real news is that they're switching from a meme round to 9mm. In b4 someone claiming this is so SS can't defend Trump from an assassin and that this has been organized by the Deep State.
Jaxson Morris
Get that non ambi mag release shit outa my face.
You'd think the SS would be way more tactically autistic than that. What if they have to do a left hand reload while dragging the president or an arm goes down? >h-hold on mr. assassin, glock only puts the controls on one side... n-now if you'll wait until I can slam this tight fitting plastic on plastic mag in with the force of a spaceship launch so it actually seats... Drillbros know what I'm talking about.
Anthony Powell
Not him, but having handled both HK's trigger, grip angle, and sights are much better than Glock's.
Lucas Davis
gen 4 was perfect so they kept most of the features the same when they moved to gen 5. all gen 5 have gen 4 etched into them like that.
Colton Lewis
how the fuck would HK be even close to going out of business if they are outfitting the entire french army with 416s, and selling a fuckton of M27s to the Marines, also how soon until a Secret Service Agent shoots a VIP through a wall while field stripping their gun
Brayden Wright
Have the SS ever fired a round in defence of a prez? Makes sense that a meme agency would be outfitted with a meme gun
Aaron Martinez
The trigger on a glock is shorter and lighter than the da pull on the hk, and the first shot is the most important so yes it matters. Once again, I knew these are the only arguments you cucks can come up with: muh grip angle, muh trigger, muh ergos... Those are subjective things you moron. I don't like the grip angle on hk, I like the glock grip angle more, yet I won't say glock is more ergonomic than the hk cause it depends on the person. Don't post again till you get an education and learn how to debate effectively.
Samuel Thomas
>There is no legitimate reason hk is better than glock at all They're more accurate, more reliable, made of higher quality steel with a better heat treatment, have full rails instead of a pig nosed single tooth abortion, come with better sights, DA/SA is inherently safer to holster and manipulate under stress, the mags drop free and are less susceptible to mud and sand, they disassemble easier, have less felt recoil, and more grip customization to meed the shifting subjective ergonomics of different users. They're also capable of firing higher pressure ammo.
Isaiah Roberts
>They're also capable of firing higher pressure ammo. name any modern pistol that can't.
Julian Brown
>The trigger on a glock is shorter and lighter than the da pull on the hk Which is why cops keep touching off rounds into people under stress
HK LEM is better than a Glock, and a skilled shooter isn't tripped up by DA/SA Glock is for people who can't shoot
Hudson Lee
Its tome to accept that in the future Glock will be the only pistol manufacturer
LOL wrong on everything. Glock is more accurate and more reliable. Glock disassembles easier too... hilarious that you were wrong in your entire post. Enjoy your shitty pistol that no military or police want to use. Till your shitty overpriced garbage rod gets as many spec ops, military and police contracts as glock, don't bother posting söyboy
Asher Ward
>Glock is more accurate and more reliable. Glock disassembles easier too I mean, if we're just outright telling fucking lies I guess
Jason Robinson
You're the one telling lies. Glock is proven more accurate and more reliable which is why it beats out hk everytime in military trials
Juan Cruz
See, that's a good fucking reason to own a glock and you did the smart thing.
Wyatt Murphy
This plus the caliber change makes me think someone wants Trump assassinated.
Christopher Walker
Do you actually know how DA/SA works? You type like you're underage, so you might just be nogunz.
That looks much better than any Glock.
Lincoln Thompson
>Glock is proven more accurate and more reliable Lol. No
Imagine being invested enough to just make all of this shit up. Imagine trying to flex on fucking HK with a Glock, of all guns.
>more accurate
I had a special chuckle at this.
Liam Fisher
Seriously, people try to swing on HK eith Glocks and FNs all the time. Walther is axway more logical choice, they have some legitimately precise pistols to rival the P30's 1.6" at 25yds
Luis Jackson
It's sunk cost fallacy. Glocktards (separate from people who just like Glocks) buy into the Elite Glock Operator memes, buy a Glock to LARP as an operator, get disappointed when it doesn't perform as expected, upgrade it to semi-decent status (doubling the cost), then because of their investment feel compelled to defend it. Say you don't like S&Ws, Walthers, HKs, Rugers, Sigs, or even CZs, and most of their owners will shrug or say "okay faggot". Say you don't like Glocks, and it is a personal stab at the heart of the Glocktard, an assault on their identity, and they will come at you in a shrieking fury.
Christian Taylor
HK fag here, to clarify if you say something like "I hate HK, fuck them" or "The M&P 2.0 is objectively a better price to value than a P30 or VP9" I'll either sgree or laugh it off But if you question the accuracy, quality, or reliability of the brand I'll go full sperg ferguson
Jason Ortiz
Every German arms export bureaucrat is Bill Ruger, half the board at HK is also Bill Ruger. Fucktarded German arms law means ANY "military" arm is barred from export. Guns like the VP9 are an exception because they are for sporting allegedly. THIS is why companies like PTR exist to literally produce HK clones off HK parts kits, because the German government has adopted the MP5 so it is barred from export to the US. Same with the MP7, G36, etc. Ofc, being pathetic cucks, the German government has slowed down buying weapons and making HK hemorhage money with retarded projects like the HK433 project, and LEO and mil export sales are way down.
Chase Roberts
Sig P320s are selling like hotcakes right now.
Julian Phillips
Congrats, you solidified his 59 series analogy by suggesting that the 320 replaced it like the M&P replaced the 5900
>In this phase of testing Glock was assessed just 3% higher than competitor SIG with their P320 family of firearms.
>What finally knocked it out of the park for Glock was that they came in quite a bit cheaper than SIG, $7.5 million less.
>For quite awhile, word on the street was that this was going to be SIG’s win. Based on testing, either offerer’s handguns would have more than done the job, but Glock developed a great strategy and brought home a solid win.
So yeah, price aside the P320 would have actually worked just as well.
>sell cheap to agents of the state >gouge the fuck out of civilians
Glock lowkey hates the 2nd Amendment, don't they?
Dylan Hernandez
From .357 to 9mm? That’s weird, don’t they want to blast the bad guys & save POTUS? Deep state is real wow
Jose Hernandez
Glocknaded hand stump? Lol not bad
Oliver Evans
Meh, don't forget they save about $130 in taxes on each gun by selling them to the government.
Jonathan Foster
Well said, I’ve noticed this myself, seemed very strange but your explanation makes perfect sense
Isaac Rivera
The assassin will conveniently have a plate carrier.
Bentley Hernandez
It's also partially because that's literally the only pistol those people know because they jumped head long into Glock right away. So ignorance combined with defensive attitudes gets you the Glocktard
Carson Carter
>being this retarded
Carter Jones
so they are changing from .357 sig? does this mean the end of the 357 sig round now?
Daniel Butler
is that why im seeing the HK USP expert and elite on sale for $849?
Jackson Walker
Right again, I’ve for sure noticed the firstguns’ choice is nearly always “Uhh Glock I guess”. The hell? When I was deciding, my friend had a super nice CZ, another had an interesting FN five-seven, another a stainless P226... why pick the DMV of pistols when stuff like that is available. I guess Glocktards would naturally be the loudest in those advice threads
Jason Miller
It's been well documented.
Thomas Jackson
Weird, I somehow managed to be even dumber and lucked out of becoming a glocktard. I went to the gun store, explained what I wanted, told them I had no idea what I was doing when it came to hand guns but I wanted to be able to conceal it. They showed me a selection of guns that boiled down to the Shield and some Glock, and mentally I went "RAP NIGGAS like Glocks, COOL AMERICAN COWBOYS like Smith & Wesson." So I bought the Shield and have it to this day.
Nicholas Hill
when i bought my first handgun i had already shot a glock and enjoyed it. so i bought a glock and enjoy it.
you gonna make fun of me? well im immune to bully because i have a glock and am happy with it. i want a beretta but am in no hurry.
The Shield is a very good one, people swear by them including a veteran friend who carries it on his waist. I was this close to getting one recently
Blake Peterson
Is the thing about the secret service using 5.7x28 just a myth then?
Anthony Powell
Nah, that's totally legitimate and I wish you well user. The Beretta 92 and Px4 are also fine pistols. (I'm an HK fanboy myself though)
I had the choice between a G17 and a P228 in a pawn shop when I was starting out. I got the Sig because it came with better sights and more mags, totally dodged a bullet
Jaxon Jones
No you sound like the normal type of owner. The Glocktard would already be flipping tables by now
Jacob Morris
jokes on you, i've already dropped my glocktard bait to great avail. however im not the most successful one itt with it.
usually with people, they either really enjoy shooting glocks or really hate it. i just chalk it up the grip angle. and that's alright. idc what feds use for their sidearms if it's in 9mm because 9mm is cheap and everywhere already so it won't affect anything.
Easton Edwards
No, because you're just a guy who has a glock, not a glocktard. Just like how you can have a nice AR and not be an /arg/ faggot.
Xavier Bailey
P228 are cool, I eyeball them from time to time. I like the wide grip and general aesthetics
Landon James
Yes Beretta 92 is just sexy, I never did shoot one. Still pretty much want one
John Fisher
The Secret Service is broke, they can't even pay their officers.
Colton James
I remember stories how Hillary was such a cunt to them, they’d fight over who had to take the duty, and they’d request transfers or retire early over it lol.
