Latin American Military - Argentina - Policía Federal Argentina (PFA)

Revised: January 25, 2010
Copyright © 1997-2010 by Jean Charles Barroux - jbarroux@LAMilitary.org

The individual weapons in use with the Policía Federal Argentina are fairly old with the ubiquitous M3A1 and FM High Power deserving well earned retirements. The only unit having seen its equipment replaced is the GEOF (Grupo Especial de Operaciones Federales) with, for example, the SIG 552-2 P Commando. Also, some Bersa Thunder 9 are being introduced into service.

The Sastrería Militar, depending from the Ejército Argentino (EA), is currently manufacturing bullet-proof gilets specifically designed to the specifications of the force.
