#G28

The GLOCK 28, a GLOCK 26 sized pistol chambered in .380 Auto, has always been a unicorn sighting event here in the United States. Designed around some countries restrictions of the chambering in civilian guns in historically military calibers, the G28 pistol in the U.S. has been available only to law enforcement – until now. TALO Distributors has just announced the GLOCK 28, made in Smyrna, Georgia, and available to the commercial market. This is a limited release of a unique GLOCK pistol. Details below.

The Slovenian National Police Force’s tactical police unit is known as Specialna Enota Policije (SEP), which translates as “Special Police Unit.” The SEP is used to carry out counterterrorism operations and other risky jobs that are too dangerous or challenging for the ordinary police force. They’re known as the “Red Panthers” and can be seen here using the Heckler & Koch HK416A5, G28 and G28 Patrol. Further down you will also see the rather peculiar FN F2000S.

The world is full of stories and photographs, and in TFB’s Photo Of The Day you can check these stories every day, every minute, all year round. Get to know a subject better or get inspiration. Today we’re looking at a suppressed H&K G28 from an almost dangerous angle.

Photo Of The Day: For those civilians who want a Heckler & Koch rifle in their collection there are a few options. In Germany, the home market for Heckler & Koch, and Europe the options are generally the MR223 or MR308. By some strange logic, the models are called 223 and 308 in Europe, and 556 and 762 in the United States. In Europe, these models have been very hard to come by lately, probably because H&K’s production is quite busy with military orders. I have one of the first MR223s, now with some minor upgrades.

In 2019 TFB were the first to discover the new Heckler & Koch HK417P model. To the best of our knowledge, this is the rifle we’re looking at in the front row. The HK417P was made for Austria and is a combination of the HK417 assault rifle and G28 precision rifle. It is a semi-automatic only rifle.

Photo Of The Day: Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, August 26, 2021, just a few days before the evacuation ended. You can imagine the pressure of working there, day and night with just a few hours of sleep between the shifts. Above we see a paratrooper assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division. He’s armed with the M110A1 CSASS, a contract awarded to Heckler and Koch. The setup is similar to the HK G28. It would be interesting to know if HK could deliver a solution in 6.5 Creedmoor if the U.S. Army wanted.

I showed the pictures in today’s Photo Of The Day to a friend and he called them “adult entertainment“, except in other words that we must not publish here. He wasn’t wrong, the album “Taktiskais snaiperis” (Tactical Snipers) contains a lot of hot material to get excited about. We have bolt-action and semi-automatic sniper rifles in a wonderful combination. There are firearms from a lot of countries here. You can see the Heckler & Koch HK417 used by the Latvian snipers, which is similar to the German G28. Can you spot the Italian ARX200 Assault Rifle? Take a look and do your best to identify what they’re using.

Our Photo Of The Day comes with some spicy sauce. What’s up with the empty Tabasco bottle at the front of the M110A1 CSASS? It all reminds me of our 2018 April Fool’s Day joke called the No Hassle Tactical Tassle.

The German Bundeswehr (Army) has been training in the northern parts of Norway, near the Arctic Circle.

Heckler & Koch USA has delivered the first shipments of the M110A1 Squad Designated Marksman Rifles (SDMR) to the US Army.

POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, is TFB’s recurring articles where we go to great length trying to find the most interesting pictures out there. Today we take a look at two German Soldiers fully kitted with helmets, hearing protection and Night Vision Goggles. They are armed with the G28 with a Schmidt & Bender scope (left) and the G95K with an EOTech.

Fire from above in this Picture Of The Day, as a German Kampfschwimmer (“Combat Swimmer”) aims his G28 rifle towards the ground.

Since the late 1990s, the Heckler & Koch G36 is the standard rifle of the German Bundeswehr.

Today’s Picture takes us to the Island of Sardinia in Italy, and the Teulada Training Area.

Today’s Photo of the Day brings us to an almost exclusive Made In Germany experience, with the G28 DMR rifle (Designated Marksman Rifle) in use by the German Army.
