9.00 M80 Pistol

The "High Power" by Browning was adopted by the Belgian army in 1935 and the pistol have since then been in service all over the world. It was used in limited numbers by Finland already during the second world war, when it was popular among pilotes. However a slightly more modern version with double action (FN HP-DA) was adopted by the army in the 80´s. In peacetime pistols are mainly used by the military police. In case of war it will not be issued in very large numbers since most have an assault rifle anyway, but it would be used as a secondary arnament, and a primary arnament of field priests and so forth. The pistol is battle-proven and very reliable. Today in Finland it is used only by the army (the Air Force, the Navy and the border guards use Glock 17). Altough a good weapon it will be replaced supplemented by Walther P99 in some units, mainly the special forces.
