An Egyptian security official says Egypt will supply their policemen with 100,000 new 9mm pistols, after many complained about a lack of firepower. Hmmm, perhaps .45s might be more appropriate?

And my next question would be: where are they coming from??…k
They’ll probably go to the Russians, Norks or Chinese but, if they’re shopping around, I know a few small arms manufacturers that are probably going to have some overstock due to their principled stand.
“Gun Companies Refuse Sales to State Governments with Strict Gun Laws”

There is a whisper going around that they have already looked at buying the Russian MP 443 ‘Grach’ (Rook). It uses an eighteen round steel magazine that houses the 9mm Luger/Parabellum round.
It is in current use with the Russian military & police enforcement. The barrel is above standard peak pressure and chambered to use a 9mm armour piercing round with a hardened steel core.
(It has produced some spectacular results in use in Chechnya).
Just the sort of side arm required for putting down unruly students in Egypt!
Yours Aye.
Can I ask a question? You’re an Ex (naughty) Bootneck??? Since when??? I didn’t perceive you to be naughty, just hilarious and funny….k
Kristen I believe it was to fit in with a previous comment I made after a ‘couple’ of glasses of port and some fine cheese & crackers. It was the cheese that left me with a hangover; I think?
Aye.
Really?? I must have missed that incarnation of you….you’ve never demonstrated perceivable naughtiness (damn it!) in my direction…oh well, such are the vagaries of life….k
I though being a Marine and being Naught was the same thing.
You mean Egypt didn’t ask Obie for another Fast and Furious for free weapons?
I kinda think that was the idea, CP….another Fast & Furious in the Middle East….at least from the looks of things….no surprises here; Obie is so predictable….and so autocratic…..k
Maybe they are getting them from all the gun buyback programs that they are trying to run.
Kris: Big Five?
Struan: Now that is a principled stand.
ENB: The Grach? What a catchy name!
Kris: You have not been paying attention.
EBTNB: Cheese will do that to you. Watch your thighs too. The stuff has a way of going from your stomach right to your upper thighal region.
CP: Obie? Ben Kenobi? What’s he got to go with this?
mark: Verrrry smart. Buy back the junk, sell it to Egypt.
