IIRC, the SAS and some other Brit Army units carry Sig P226s and P228s, although I think they are moving towards replacing them (and the BHPs) with Glocks.So the Teutonic influence still exists.
Harvey Edited to add: I really liked that little P5C as it was an improved, cut down P38 and was very accurate and reliable. Getting used to the "left-handed ejection" took very little time, although it may have surprised some next to me on a square range. H |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I'm not surprised the British adopted this at one time. Despite fighting them in two world wars, the British respect the Germans, and think highly of everything the Germans build. Image below from Harvey Goldman - Image Title: photos Image Info: My Walther P-5C, a compact 9mm with a single stack magazine. Great for southpaws, as it ejects to the left. It is also known as the L102A1 by the British.  |
