PISTOLS USED BY THE SADF & SANDF

**Richard83** · 20-01-2016, 16:15

I am starting to get interested in collecting firearms.However before I start I want to really doing as much research as possible.

Probably the areas that interest me the most are small armsof the SADF & SANDF and classic sporting rifles. For interest sake I wouldlike to know what pistols were used by both the SADF & SANDF including specialforces/units. So far I have the following that I know of:

Vektor Z88
Vektor SP01
Browning HP

Any additions to the list would be a great help.

Beretta 92s (pretty much all of them, as far as I know)
Star Models B and super B
Star DKL (as funny as that may sound - they were issued as back-ups to some of the close protection details in the time of the Nat Govt)

+ very recently,Beretta PX Storm,seen on our local MP's.

I wonder if they ever used any H&K's in the special units.

SIG 226 for SF.

I have heard that there were some P7s issued to CPOs.

Super B has been questioned in the SADF context. I never saw one there - only B's.

In the Defence Force? I know the SAPS has those, wasn't aware that the SADF or SANDF had USP's or P99's.

How would I obtain a definitive list. It seems the official sandf website list a star 9mm short! I tried emailing the www.recce.co.za but got referred to the military website.
