The Bundeswehr has selected a CZ pistol as its new standard-issue sidearm, a move the gun company hails as one of its most significant milestones.
CZ was awarded the contract, which will be fulfilled through CZ’s authorized partner in Germany, POL-TEC GmbH, following an open international tender, prevailing over several global competitors. The pistols, designated as P13 for the German military, are based on the CZ P-10 C OR (Optics-Ready) model in a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) finish. The CZ P-10 C OR is a striker-fired 9 mm with a 15-round capacity.
“We are honored that the German Bundeswehr has chosen CZ as its partner,” said Jan Zajic, CEO and chairman of the board of CZ. “It clearly confirms the outstanding reputation our firearms have earned through active deployment in real combat conditions. We look forward to a long-term cooperation with the Bundeswehr and to fulfilling all its requirements in line with the contract.”
