The Pindad G2 is a 9×19mm Parabellum handgun designed and produced by Pindad.

The Pindad G2 pistol is a recoil-operated semi-automatic handgun utilizing a John Browning-style tilting barrel mechanism. This mechanism harnesses the recoil of the fired round to push the slide rearwards.

Etymology

The name "G2" is pronounced in English and is meant to be a pun for the Indonesian word "jitu" (literally means "accurate").

Variants

G2 Elite

Intended to be more accurate than the G2 Combat, the G2 Elite is equipped with an adjustable rear-sight (compared to the G2 Combat's fixed rear-sight) in order to assist the user when engaging a target at long ranges.[1]

It also comes with a slightly different design compared to the G2 Combat, notably the rear part of the slide.

G2 Premium

This variant is the highest upgrade within the G2 family. The G2 Premium is also manufactured by taking the pros and cons said by those who have previously fired the G2 Combat and the G2 Elite into account.[2]

A flashlight or a laser-sight can be attached under the pistol's barrel, making it more handy in a CQB or during a tactical operation.

It is also sometimes issued for international competitions.
