Dutch Justice department drops Sig-Sauer

If memory serves, the Walther P5's have been in service for 30 years with the Dutch National Police. That is a long stint by any measure.

As a side note, the SIG P250 has a less than sterling reputation (I am being diplomatic) amongst many in the firearms community. The P250 has failed spectacularly more than once during testing for large law enforcement style contracts. It was a solution looking for a problem. And SIGs marketing and follow through of the pistol was, shall we say, less than optimum.
