    Nice!

    I ran into a few CG dudes In Iraq. They were down in Basra keeping the port safe.

    Not many folks know the CG is all over the world conducting security and safety patrols.



    I like the M9. I have has to use several handguns in combat and the M9 served me well. The G19, M11, M1911a1 and some other were available but I had no problem with the M9.

    They are smooth and shoot well. Keep the mags clean and they run 100%.

    On the other hand if I had to carry a handgun I was either riding or flying to the fight. If I was walking I would rather have 2 more Mags for my rifle or a Grenade[;)]

    I was never a Pistol Expert till the M9 came out. Got expert the very 1st time firing it and every year after. The old 45 1911's were just too worn out.

    I have shot many 1911's that were worn out. It is rather depressing to not be able to hit the target.

    On the other hand, it is a pure pleasure to shoot a 1911 that will hit where you aim. I have a few of those in The Collection.

    Did not get a good one till I bought my own. Kimber Raptor. Just last year I got my own M9.

    Yep, never was issued an accurate one.

    However, I did purchase a nice Colt M-1911 A1 National Match (manufactured in 1943) for The Collection. It will hit where you aim it. [8D]

    That is purty. I suspect it will take 15 round mags, and the newer 17s too.
