The Hong Kong Police announced on July 11 that they would gradually replace existing foreign-made revolvers with chinese-made semi-automatic pistol. The Hong Kong Police said the first officers to complete their training on July 25 would be the first to be deployed.
It is understood that the Hong Kong police will mainly choose domestic CF98A-type semi-automatic pistol, gradually replacing the long-used foreign-made “.38” revolver. Police say the new domestic handgun is superior in both performance and reliability.
Hong Kong Police said the new gun training and replacement schedule will be carried out in an orderly manner in batches. The first police officers to complete training on July 25 will be the first to be equipped with new guns, and new recruits will be trained in September to use homemade pistols.
The CF98A semi-automatic pistol is ergonomically designed to provide reliability and ease of operation, improve operational efficiency and police protection. Its design and manufacturing process in line with international standards, compared with similar pistols in other countries have higher reliability.
