#Glock22Gen4

Since mid-2017, news has circulated in the local Brazilian media concerning the proposed acquisition of 5,000 .40 S&W pistols by PMESP – Polícia Militar do Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo State Military Police) as an initial step to start replacing the agency’s inventory of Taurus-made models in general use since the 1990s. The supply tender was particularly significant since it would be the first time that foreign companies were participating, other than the local Taurus and IMBEL concerns. By the end of 2017, competition had been narrowed to three models, the Beretta APX, the Glock G22 Gen4, and the Sig Sauer P320.
