About
What it is, and why it matters
The Pindad G2 Elite is an Indonesian-designed and manufactured 9x19mm semi-automatic pistol produced by state-owned defense firm PT Pindad. Introduced in 2011 alongside the G2 Combat as part of the second-generation Pindad pistol line, the Elite variant features an extended 127mm barrel and adjustable rear sight intended for target shooting and precision use, distinguishing it from the shorter-barreled service-oriented G2 Combat. The pistol uses a conventional short-recoil action with a single-action-only trigger and 15-round detachable box magazine.
Pindad's G2 series marked Indonesia's effort to field a fully indigenous service pistol after decades of relying on Western imports such as the Browning Hi-Power, with the Elite variant tailored specifically for the Indonesian military marksmanship teams competing in regional ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet (AARM) shooting events.
The G2 Elite shares its core mechanism with other G2-series Pindad pistols. It is intended for competition and precision shooting roles within Indonesian military and police inventories.
