I find it odd the gov hasn’t got anything newer then either of those two guns, 1976! That’s old as Don! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Keep and use the proven stuff and add the newer stuff. Right Ken?

The 1911 design proves that. Been around for over 100 years, and still the go-to combat pistol for a lot of trigger pullers on the pointy end of the spear. You Glock guys are just like cross-fitters.

Lol i knew that would stir the pot….accurate or reliable, choose one when choosing a 1911….sloppy was reliable, and tight was accurate. Of course Ive never thrown a $3500 custom 1911 in the mud and stomped on it to verify….But i have done that with glocks….Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
God, how I love to stir this pot. :evilIt’s so much fun. In the end its what you practice with.But I will say I’ve never been beat in a pistol match by a 1911…..Here we go….againSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

just to try and get this back about a young man. What is the current issued side arm of the Army?
I’m the Air Force we were issued both left and right side arms. Just another reason we’re better. It wasn’t just one or the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hopefully he doesn't have to find out for a long time... his rank and duty position does not qualify him to carry a pistol.the sig P320 is the civilian version of the M17 pistol
Meanwhile his peer group back in the states… What?! No freaking Starbucks! What will I do without my latte? And the Internet here sucks! I haven’t been able to see my girlfriend/boyfriend/other in three whole days!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
He has been in the field or on a range more days in the past year than he has been in a barracks. He sleeps in a bedroll on the ground. If it's raining, he is wet. If it is snowing and raining, he is cold and wet, for days at a time. He is as skinny as a freaking rail.I guess I must have forgotten just how tough it was, but man, could we give the kid a freakin' break already!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!

You adapt to it or let it beat you up. He'll be fine.
I understand. And I was a Tanker. Not as tough, we had a tank to "Sleep" in but the maintenance of that thing...And I ran with the Rangers, Seals, green berets and others for many years, so I have seen all that.ButDuring no time in my experience was I ever the dad, watching my son go through all thatandI trust the NCO's out there, so I know in the end he will be fine.

I have learned that a lot of what I say gets misconstrued by people at work, generally due to how I speak. I meant it as he'll be fine going through all this fun stuff.
Any update on your young crunchy...I mean infantryman? Has he found a Polish bride yet?
Quote from: cj7ox on June 13, 2022, 09:55:35 AMAny update on your young crunchy...I mean infantryman? Has he found a Polish bride yet?Poor kid has been in the field, training, for 2 weeks. Has another 2.5 weeks to go before he finishes. That's all they do is training followed by training, then more training with a forecast of additional training. Easy to see how they are so eager to kill something once we cut them loose!
"combat patches/trophies" "deployment patches/participation awards". less and less like your army huh chief.
Wait til you see females with their hair down in uniform. guys with facial hair. I know I had to learn the definition of uniform. I also wonder who the rocket scientist is that approved the new pt gear to be all black and then require everyone to wear a reflective belt. Among a couple of quick observations.

Among a couple of quick observations.I see it in the lack of discipline and the fighting spirit is gone. These people move more like conditioned robots who are afraid of their shadow. Nate tells me guys get turned in all the time for harassment.WHAT???That's all soldiers ever do to each otherBuilds character!
