Smith & Wesson Secures M&P Pistol
Contract from Belgium Federal Police

(GunReports.com) -- Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation has received a contract from the Belgium Federal Police calling for 20,000 Smith & Wesson® Military & Police (M&P) 9mm polymer pistols over a ten-year period. The police agency, a force with 12,500 officers, has received an initial shipment of 2,500 pistols as part of the full department conversion to Smith & Wesson duty firearms.

In addition to duty pistols, the Belgium Federal Police also placed orders for simunition and dedicated training firearms based on the M&P platform. The firearms offered by Smith & Wesson were supported with a full range of services, including armorer’s training. The company also provided the agency with product manuals in multiple languages in order to ease the transition process.

The M&P9 pistols were built to meet the exact specifications set forth by the police agency. Enhanced features included luminescent sights, a manual thumb safety with on/off red dot indicator, and a raised loaded chamber indicator on top of the slide that could be felt by hand. The M&P9 pistols retained the original design features and were supplied with two 17-round magazines along with cleaning materials.

So, does this mean the Belgian Police wil be surplusing some 20k pistols over the next 10 years also? Now, if some of them came this way, that might be nice....

Nice to see an American company gain acceptance in the international law enforcement community.

I love my M&P's. They far outshine the Glock with the exception of a complete ease of disassembly. Better trigger than the XD, wish the XD had a much shorter reset. Have my M&P .45 compact on my hip right now
