    Still a few God fearing 1911 guys in the military!

    Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”

    Still a few God fearing 1911 guys in the military!

    That holster looks like his six year old made it for a school art project.

    ETA - not knocking the guy just to do it, I simply feel like a better carriage option would be of value.

    I made a nicer holster for my M1911A1 in the Craft Shop @ Camp Humphreys, ROK back in 1975.

    Scott Miller is a former Delta commander and a general officer -- they can carry whatever pistol they want as part of their uniform. General Officers are issued an M9 (with the option to buy). He was given a Glock 22 when he left the unit (through the association).

    That said, he prefers a 1911, as did Generals Schoomaker and Bargewell.

    Yup, nothing quite like God on earth than a general on a battlefield.

    It's cute watching soyboys come into a thread about 1911s and shit on the gun that people literally spend thousands of dollars trying to turn their tupperware into.

    Don't get me wrong - the tupperware guns are great and if I were running a police department or military organization, I'd be issuing Glocks.

    At the end of the day, though, there are only two types of semi-automatic pistols: 1911s and pistols that aspire to one day be 1911s.

    ADM McRaven also carried a 1911.

    Yeah, he can carry whatever he wants IMO. Looks like more than a M1911, with beavertail and magwell.
