EXHIBIT 17
CONTRACTOR PROVIDED
FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION
The contractor will provide all security officers, including part-time and reserve officers, with an assigned pistol, which will be kept onsite at DOTHQ and FAAHQ, except for weapons training and qualifications, where the contractor will transport the weapons to the training and qualification site. The firearm used will be of a 9mm Caliber:
Specifications
1. Caliber 9mm The overall size shall not exceed 7.5” long, 5.5” high, and 1.5” wide, and weigh no more than 30 oz., excluding the magazine. The caliber authorized is 9MM and not any larger. The magazines (three for each pistol) shall hold a minimum of 10 rounds and not more than 17. The pistol must be able to be fired without a magazine inserted into the weapon. The magazine must fall free (unloaded) when the magazine catch is activated. The double-action only trigger pull must not weigh more than 12 pounds and not less than 5 pounds. The pistol may be either a traditional double-action only or a striker-fired design.
The pistol shall have a dark corrosive resistant finish and must be capable of being fired without the manipulation of an external safety or cocking lever. Passively operated grip or trigger safeties are acceptable. The normal function of the pistol shall be double-action only. The pistol must be operable by a right-handed or left-handed user. The use of a polymer-framed pistol is acceptable. There is no requirement for an all-metal firearm.
All safeties must be internal or passive. An inertial interlocked firing pin will be the primary safety to positively prevent movement of the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled completely through its entire length of travel.
The sights must be drift-adjustable and be luminous night sights, one (1) dot on the front sight, and two
(2) dots on the rear sight, which appear as three (3) illuminated dots when the weapon is held at arm’s length. The illuminated dots must not be visible when viewed from the muzzle end of the pistol.
