It's definitely polymer, but I can't place the front end. Can anyone identify the holster? It looks like it's made for a Sig 22X, but that's not a 22X or 250 (not to mention it doesn't fit very well). It seems to have finger grooves as well.
No Cerberus owned company makes a traditional pistol, as per my recent google research. With Remington taking every other aspect of the military small arms market so seriously lately, I wonder if maybe they have something up their sleeve? Or maybe I just can't make it out on my laptop, hence this topic.

Hard to say looks like a Glock 34/35.
Looking at the muzzle makes me think it can't be a Glock.
Maybe a Beretta 90-two?

Definitely a Glock. Just not sure of the model as all Glocks pretty much look the same. I would say either a 34/35 or a 17/22/31. My guess would be a 34 or a 17.

End of the barrel doesn't look to stick out nearly far enough.
I'm not sure it's a Glock either. In grip it looks possible. But the sights/slide are throwing it off a little...does kinda look square enough in the 2nd pic.
Same with it being an FN of sorts (wouldn't that be funny...an FNP being used in conjunction with a SCAR competitor? lol)
Maybe a Beretta PX4 instead?

I think it is an FNP.
I thought that at first but FN handguns don't have squared mag bases.....

That grip looks Glocky

I'm sticking with FNP.

It's kinda hard to make it out, but the backstrap looks straighter than that of a Glock. In addition, on my 3rd Generation Glock 17 the base of the frontstrap is relieved so you can grab a stuck magazine. (I haven't figured out what it is, though.)
My vote is for FNP. The back of the slide looks to be about the right shape, and the "beavertail" looks about the right distance from the backstrap. The slightly portruding barrel and guide rod also look like the FNP. The only thing is the finger groove in the front strap, but he could have a hogue or something on... I dunno.
It is a Glock 22. Current issue with CAG.
That is not a 6004 for a Glock.

Tons of guys at my dept run around with Glocks in Sig holsters. The dept began to issue the Glock and most were too cheap to buy a new holster and they only had so many Glock holsters to issue.
The Glock will also fit in the 6004 for the Beretta, just not well.

Good to know. I would suspect you would know. :D
My vote's on the Beretta Storm.
Must be a G22SF that they haven't released to the rest of us yet. It looks to be lacking the half moon cutout in the front strap that the standard G22's have.

Where did you get the pics? They look to "clean" to be down range photos.
Almost looks like an advertisement/commercial photo.
Belay my last. I see the "digital concealment systems LLC" in the caption.
two different people here in the photos and also two different handguns...I think the first is either a Glock 17 or 22...not sure about the second one..
I also think that the photos have been doctored a bit. Take a look at the outlines of the "soldiers" to the ground around them..:confused:

It is the same guy in both pics
It is the same guy in both pics
Then he changed out his sunglasses... ;)
And wouldn't CAG or a similar unit have an optic of some sort on the rifle?

not the same guy. glasses don't match and one is clearly older/younger. not sure what the pistol is but the magazine clip with the finger grooves leaves me to believe its a glock.

Stupid question, what kind of rifle is that? ACR...? Sorry, I am not up with this particular rifle. The ACR/ Masada's and FN model all really confuse me. They all look the same to this guy. :confused:
Thanks,

The photos are definitely fake. Even the sunglasses are chopped on.
After looking at the picture on my buddy's 24 inch uber monitor, I'm 75% sure it's a full size Glock with a modified grip and a Lasermax guide rod set up. The width of the guide rod was the primary thing throwing me off. I'm still unsure as the barrel is obviously stainless and the front end almost looks like a 1911 bull barrel set up with no exposed slide between the barrel and guide rod plug.
And it is an ACR. It's a company photo for Digital Concealment Systems new A-TACS camouflage which is looking to be a replacement for ACU in the future. Remington is one of the few companies who jumped on the bandwagon and got the rights to use it.
Yeah looks like a remington ACR

I'm with others, one pic is just more clear than the other but it does look like the same individual.
It looks to be the same uniform, gloves, vest, pads, boots, helmet etc in both pics. Going to the tactical-life page, it comes from an "ad" for the A-TACS camo pattern, and I'd assume if they're going to show 2 separate individuals, they'd take the time to show their products more.
But being the 1st pic is more clear, maybe the eye wear was swapped to give a "better" look? The M-frame style is more iconic as well as doesn't give the "soldier" a bubble/frog face like the 2nd pic. (I'm not saying he isn't in the military, but I'm assuming he is strictly a model for this ad). It's all marketing afterall...and Oakley > just about anyone else in eye wear.
