Nordic Hollowpoint Homogeny
We’ve talked several times about the efforts by the Scandinavian sister countries– Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland– since 2009, to unify their efforts militarily via the Nordic Defence Cooperation Group, or NORDEDCO.
For instance, they have adopted a common service/combat uniform and are increasingly moving to common weapons platforms in terms of small arms.
There was even serious talk of a “Viking” class submarine program that would see the four countries jointly operate a squadron of 10-12 sister boats but that tanked over a myriad of reasons outside the scope of this blog.
Now, the four NORDEDCO countries, joined by fellow traveler Iceland have entered into a seven-year contract with Federal to supply 9mm duty handgun ammo to the joint Nordic Police program.
This will see cops from Reykjavik to Helsinki load up their mags with Speer 124-grain Gold Dot JHPs, a personal favorite of mine for years.
Interesting.
