Yeah, I know it ain't a military wide overhaul of the service pistol, but it's a pretty damned good foothold.
 
On an unrelated note, why doesn't 5.11 offer a two strap version of the MOAB?! I've called before and suggested it only to have it forwarded to product development. Maybe I should call a few more times.

I couldn't get the link to work..so what's the story about? Are they going back to the 1911? They should have never abandoned it, IMO. Anyway, fill me in.

nice, I have a story about danish oil, oh. but that's for another time... :D

ordered a new Japanese water stone last night, along with a Buck Select (love the vantage line) deep clips for me..

figured I try bucks 420 and I only spent 20 shipped on the knife so It will be my beater, who knows it may prove itself.

but I'm super stoked about the water stone, I had worked one down to a nub and had to throw it out over a year ago so I've been without a sharpening apparatus far to long (manual one that is)

I'd like to get a water stone myself.

On another note, I ordered a Condor basic bushcraft knife today. The 4" model.

How do you like condor blades, you seem to have quite a few... Thought about getting some myself to mess around with. Particularly the Toloza, speed bowie and Hudson bay with maybe the woodlaw and warlok if I can find them.
 
Holy crap its raining!!! Everything around here is starting to get very dry so this rain is wonderful. By the looks of the radar we should get it for a few hours.

I like the looks of them, and have had fun modding them, but still haven't used any of them. It's been so freaking hot here lately. Fall time is when I use my blades the most. Looking forward to getting out and camping.

The Condor's are so cheap to buy. I just paid $23 for the Bushcraft Basic, shipped.
 
Off color jokes and hurt feeling currently being done in the chatroom.....be there
 
I like the Beretta, but only if I can feed it JHPs. 9mm is NOT a caliber intended for use with ball ammo.

I have wondered about the .40cal Berettas, I have never shot one of those.

Not sure what's wrong with the link. Try going to Military Times and typing in "Colt pistol". Basically MARSOC has been looking for a CQB pistol for a long time and they finally found a winner.
 
Never been a big fan of the M9. Even though we have been force fed. Too big and too heavy for a 9mm. Always been a fan of the 1911, always will be. John Moses Browning was a genius! He designed the perfect pistol. I also like Glocks. But, to me, Glocks are tools. 1911's are instruments.

Thats about the best way I have heard that put Balding, That pretty much sums up my feelings as well.

My EDC. S&W Commander sized scandium alloy frame. Or as a shooting buddy of mine calls it "unobtanium scantanium" You can see some finish worn off and even sweat rust on the grip screws. Need to get some Stainless grip screws
