UK Armed Forces: Glock 17 to Replace the Browning Hi-Power
With a new 9 million GBP contract signed over 25.000 Glock 17 Gen4 pistols will be provided to the British armed forces currently serving in the Middle East.
The single action Browning Hi-Power is a work horse of a gun but after 40 years of service clearly dated compared to what is available today in terms of modern handguns.
The choice was clearly to go for the most proven, most reliable handgun available today and forget about dated concepts such as the need for an external manually operated safety.
Police, military or civilian, this is yet again proof that all things considered, capacity, accuracy, unbeatable reliability and ease of shooting and repair, the Glock simply cannot be beaten.

What else can be said … “in Glock we believe!”
I am curious what they have in store for the next Gen of handgun.
I think they made a good choice given it had to be 9mm NATO standard.
Hello,
Canada is doing the same thing, but they are going with Colt (don’t know what model) instead of Glock. I don’t know what they are thinking, Glock is by far a better choice.
The icing on this sad cake is that they are destroying the 43000 Hi Powers instead of selling them to dealers. Selling them would put millions of dollars back to the taxpayers and give people a chance to own a piece of history.
Indeed a real shame, I love those guns.
They ought not to destroy the Browning Hi powers. I’m a big Glock fan–especially I’m a fan of the Glock 17. However, the Browning Hi-Powers are excellent weapons. It would be a great credit to such noble warriors to recondition them and offer the for sale to the public to assist in funding the purchase of the Glock 17s. NO doubt there are many individuals who would make such a purchase.
