Dutch Justice department drops Sig-Sauer

The Walther P5 suffers from increased barrel wear due to the 'action' ammunition that is in use since the late 1980s. This already caused the special arrest teams to switch to the Glock 17, but it has not enough safety features for the average police officer.

I don't mean this to be a silly question, but if there is increased barrel wear, why not just replace the barrel. It would be a lot cheaper.

I was starting to get barrel wear on a Hi Power once and I just changed the barrel and used a milder ammunication.
