The current service pistol of most of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) is the 9mm Browning Hi-Power. The design dates to 1935 and it was procured at the end of the Second World War. The CAF fleet of Browning Hi-Power pistols has deteriorated to the point that it has become unsustainable and too unreliable for operations. The security environment will continue to exhibit high volatility and uncertainty. CAF personnel, when committed to the Contemporary Operating Environment, are assigned operational responsibility over exceptionally large and varied geographical areas. Threats can originate from any direction with little or no warning. CAF personnel require a reliable and effective personal weapon and holster system to deal with constrained close-range situations. The C22 MPP will ensure that CAF personnel have a precise modular pistol and holster system that is reliable and dependable when used by personnel in operational situations from urban areas through dense vegetation to open savannah, arctic and desert under a wide range of climatic conditions.
