One chapter dedicated to why you no longer need to stick your finger into the pistol.
I wonder will it reduce the casualties of guardroom roofs and floors?
How long before we begin to bemoan the demise of our beloved bap, and long for its return, as the new pistol is "only a toy, and doesn't feel like a real pistol"?

New manual? How hard can it be?
"Put bullets in gun. Rack slide. Move from 'S' to 'F'. Aim at target. Pull trigger"
the Manual for us informs us of the capabilities of the weapon
The newer type manuals also tend to impart doctrinal policy
on how and when to use the weapon
maybe we are a bit dumb, but wouldnt you rather we were called dumb
than ever have to say
Dude this means jail

The P8 variant of the USP is the one adapted for the Bundeswehr (and is I assume the model we are getting) it has a slightly different safety.
USP with standard safety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HK_USP-CT.jpg
P8 with modified safety: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Km2000.jpg
From th HK website
HECKLER & KOCH P8 - THE SERVICE PISTOL OF THE FEDERAL GERMAN ARMED FORCES
Upon exhaustive comparative trials, the Federal German Armed Forces selected the P8 as the best weapon and adopted it as their service weapon.
It differs from the USP particularly by the following features:
* P8 – specific arrangement of the safety and de-cocking lever
* Transparent magazine with special dust protection
* Barrel with lands-and grooves profileLast edited by The real Jack; 3 February 2007, 21:55.

I was just thinking with the new issue of pistols coming up, what can the RDF units expect to be issued ?
a number of grounds, the obvious one being the age of the
weapons
As the number of pistols is quite small and drivers and other
such personnel in the PDF overseas are currently using Steyrs.
be manoeuvred through the hatches of the armoured cars. As featured a few
months ago in An Cosantóir, in the article on 4 Cav Sqn.The primary weapon
of armoured crewmen the world over is still the pistol though.
is it wise to issue such items to RDF?
I know this will be a hot topic but i just want to see what the general thought is on such matters.
One uniform
One weapon, etc...

I tried it with the duty holster, but the internal dimensions of the drop-leg are identical.
