Angstadt Arms have announced that following a competitive tender process the Singapore Police Force selected the Angstadt MDP-9 GEN2 as their new personal defense weapon. The MDP-9 was launched in 2020, a roller-delayed submachine gun which offers familiar AR-15 style controls and feeds from ubiquitous Glock magazines. The contract calls for over 2,000 MDP-9s which will likely replace the currently in service HK MP5s. Also included in the contract are suppressors and 650 FX Simunition units for training.

Here’s Angstadt Arms’ announcement in full:


“Following a highly competitive and rigorous qualification, Angstadt Arms is pleased to announce the MDP - 9 ® GEN2 was chosen by the Singapore Police Force as their new ultralight 9mm personal defense weapon (PDW). With its compact 14 - inch frame and weighing just 3.7 pounds, the MDP - 9 offers the perfect balance between portability and power.
The tender includes more than 2,100 firearms, 650 dedicated FX Simunition units, sound suppressors, operator training and integrated logistics and support for a three - year period.
The MDP - 9 ® GEN2 is an ultracompact, ambidextrous 9mm PDW , designed to accept GLOCK ® double - stack magazines. Its roller - delayed action significantly minimizes felt recoil, resulting in the lowest muzzle rise in its class.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) serves as the national and principal law enforcement agency, dedicated to crime prevention and law enforcement. As the leading agency in the country, the SPF's mission is to prevent, deter and detect crime, ensuring the safety and security of Singapore.
“We’re incredibly honored the Singapore Police Force chose our roller - delayed MDP - 9 as their new PDW ,” said Rich Angstadt, President of Angstadt Arms. “ It ensures their brave officers have the best equipment available as they protect and defend the Republic of Singapore..”

    If I lived somewhere humid Glock mags would be the standard mag for any handgun or SMG of mine, and PMAGs for rifles.


    I wonder how damn rusty those tired MP5s are.
