Denmark uses 17s and a few 20s. But I don't believe it is the "standard" sidearm. I believe the SIG 210 is still widely issued in the Danish army, and while I know people who have been issued Glocks on deployments to Iraq/Afghanistan, I don't think it's the standard sidearm. It probably will be at some point, but I don't believe it is today. |

GLOCK 19 The all-round talent The GLOCK 19 is ideal for versatile use through reduced dimensions compared with the standard pistol size. With the proven caliber of 9x19, it has found worldwide distribution in security services. In addition to being used as a conventional service weapon, it is suitable for concealed carry or as a backup weapon. For instance, many of the elite pilots of the USAF trust the GLOCK 19 for their efficient defense in emergency situations. |
