Australia's "New" F9 Pistol

Goony · Apr 28, 2025

If it looks familiar, well, that's because it is, although not strictly speaking identical to our M17/18: https://www.defence.gov.au/news-events/news/2025-04-04/new-adf-pistol-unveiled

SIG has made a clone of the F9 commercially available as well: Introducing SIG Special Weapons Group and the Australian SIGP320978 Pistol | Soldier Systems Daily Soldier Systems Daily

I read the article. A couple of those quoted are drinking the kool-aid strongly, IMO.

These guys are ALL excited over shooting more than 10rds? Seriously? Well, I guess they are Australian, home of gun bans. I guess I'd be excited too.

Is there a pool on when the first ND is?

The pistol is only available the Australian military.

I have relatives in Australia and for the general public they can have a Glock 17 or 34 because the barrel is 4.5 inches with restrictions. The Glock 19 barrel is too short so G19 is not available but the G17 or G34 is.

Australia is quite different and their LEOs do not carry with a chambered round. They also fire a "warning shot" before engaging a bad guy.

Dan Wesson 10 mm Razorback and new Ruger LC 10 mm carbine. Lucked out getting the Ruger 10 mm as they are very hard to find around here. BTW, the scope was as much as the carbine even with Veterans discount but worth it.

Wow, empty chamber and warning shot...
