Overview
- CZ confirmed the award for the P13, a variant of the P-10 C OR, with all pistols to be produced in Uherský Brod, Czech Republic.
- POL-TEC in Fürth will oversee delivery and integration for the Bundeswehr and supply holsters and training weapons as part of the system buy.
- Industry outlet hartpunkt.de reports a framework for up to 203,000 pistols valued at up to €56 million, with an initial order of 65,000 worth about €19 million.
- Reporting indicates price was the primary award criterion, with CZ’s lowest compliant offer prevailing after H&K was eliminated and Glock and Arex reached the final round.
- The pistol is chambered in 9x19 mm, uses 15-round magazines, is optics-ready, and is intended for broad issue across units after budget approval earlier in November.
