English: SIG-SAUER PPNL (Politie Pistool Nederland - Police Pistol Netherlands) pistol based on the SIG-Sauer P250 DCc. For the recording of weapon specific data, a passive RFID transponder is integrated into the weapon. The stored data can be read via an external unit. The SIG-Sauer PPNL would have replaced the existing pistols; Walther P5 and Glock 17. The SIG-SAUER PPNL order was however canceled due by the Dutch government which started and completed a new tender process in 2012. Part of the replacement operation will be the extra training of the police officers for their qualification with the new handgun. This operation will take place from 2013 up to 2014 and will include around 40,000 police officers. During the introduction of a new pistol the special police-units and key instructors for further training will have priority.

The order consist of:

• 42,000 service pistols (also for the Dutch Customs service)
• 1,250 practice pistols
• 700 instruction pistols
• 1,000 pistols adapted voor firing FX simunition
• 190 cut away models

The ammunition chosen for the SIG-SAUER PPNL is 9x19mm Parabellum RUAG SINTOX-ACTION 4 NP (Netherlands Police) lead free ammunition loaded with 6.1 g (64 gr) solid brass hollow point plastic tip covered projectiles. The orange coloured plastic tips of the NP variant are custom made for the Netherlands Police to facilitate easy forensic identification as police ammunition.
