Great song and brings back some memories of 30 years ago at Quantico for some training... As for Ayoob and although, don't agree with all your points or maybe I do, damn getting old, don't remember. Can't argue with this one, as it's reference to always learning. His and others watching the...

Well, there was a time when being covered in a gunfight with some bank robbers by an officer, with an empty gun. Got a little irritated when I found out. But he was injured and didn't realize he had emptied the revolver into the windshield of the bad guy's vehicle when they rammed his door with...

Yeah and had to qualify at 50 yards weak hand, but I did have new-fangled speed loaders and to be honest still turned good times. Last round in our four shot tube mags was a slug in a Deer Slayer model... Then there was the 6" barrel and slung swivel holsters for seating comfort. Clad with...

Yep annual requals are something to see and despite free range day ammo once a month, those that needed it the most weren't there, because they would want overtime... I do remember Navy Boot Camp walking into the in-door range for 1911 introduction of field stripping and qualifications. The...

Well, there was one that was much worse... The North Hollywood Shootout in 1997 is a prominent incident where officers ran out of ammunition and had to borrow guns and magazines from a local store to outgun heavily armed bank robbers. A gunfight that lasted 44 minutes in a rolling shoot-out...

True, just reminded me how the dictates of one person can ruin the work of a committee, that reviewed many factors and changed course. Like you said, isn't efficient to change for the purpose of one opinion alone. Just because you can doesn't mean one should, I agree...

Had a new Sheriff (outsider)come in and complained about the issued HK USP in .45 were too heavy. Caught him in uniform one day with empty mags, as I questioned and asked if he was really that "tactically challenged..." It got worse as he decided everyone should carry what they want...

Lost me at 9mm...

Dems first... LOL

Funny that is the only one they can point to and more of a testament of a pistol round, as if it had been 9mm, based on bullet weight and mass needed to kill the evil, that could have took over 28... :rolleyes: Guess that would have left, naw just would have used em faster.

I couldn't buy a 1911 in 9mm, just can't, won't, just sacrilege as I wouldn't want to aggravate St. John as he built the Hi-Power for that... So yeah, I bought a 2011 and it carries 19 in the box with one in the pipe in DLC finish and it is as slick as one can get. But damn they are proud of...

Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot) Happiness is a warm gun, momma (bang, bang, shoot, shoot) When I hold you in my arms (ooh, oh, yeah) And I feel my finger on your trigger (ooh, oh, yeah) I know nobody can do me no harm (ooh, oh, yeah) Because Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is...

Always wanted to use that and claim over 111 years in service, but the names 1903 and 1907 get in the way, were a bit different in build with 2 links and such...

Yep and why Saint John Browning did what he did at the request of the Military, at the time he did it for the battlefield. That is "incapacity" over lethality... Since the projectile was controlled by rules of war, the big hardball was used so more of said energy, at sub-sonic speeds did its...

Dusted off an old Long Slide and took it to the Range and in front of the Challege Course, as the timer went off cleaned the five targets with the last a plate at 25 yards with iron sights with a clang in a bit over two seconds. The look on the young man's face a couple lanes down, priceless...

Hmm, I will have to ask the bowling pin, as I have seen what both can do to a human... The point was the 5.7x28mm is now what 9mm claimed to be to the .45acp. When I had to drop my .357 mag for the 9mm, I found the claims were not accurate except the mag capacity. I will concede ammo is...

Okay Johnny, I will have to correct you as the Marine Recon continued using up what 1911 parts that were left, with upgrades until 2022, so 111 years in service. The Navy's Frogmen, well Hell, I have no idea what they are using now, but they were still using .45 for the same reason the Marines...

But if I miss by an inch with a 9mm, it is a mile. But with the .45 (and if I use the HP), still a hit from close is good enough for grenades and flying ashtrays... Think it is that metric thing?

Got some stick time in the Whiskey Cobra, a beast as well... But believe it or not the Chinook is faster than it and the Apache too.
