I have had logbotcher on ignore for quite some time, his opinions are worthless, his additude sucks, a generally piss poor type of person.

I think I actually agree with Logbutcher on this topic! Better ignore me for a while. :smile2:

The MEU(SOC) pistol, officially designated the M-45 MEUSOC[5], is a magazine-fed, recoil-operated, single-action, semiautomatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. It is based on the original M1911 design by John Browning, and has been the standard-issue side arm for the Force Recon Element of the United States Marine Corps' Marine Expeditionary Units from 1985 to today. Its National Stock Number is 1005-01-370-7353.

The Heckler & Koch MK23 Mod 0 is a handgun consisting of a match grade semi-automatic pistol, a laser aiming module (LAM), and suppressor. It was adopted by the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) for special operations units in the 1990s.
While the designation applies to the complete system, it's also commonly used in reference to the pistol component itself. The pistol itself, chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge, was developed by Heckler & Koch, and was selected over the Colt OHWS through USSOCOM's Offensive Handgun Weapon System (OHWS) program. The LAM and suppressor were developed by Insight Technology and Knight's Armament Company (KAC), respectively.

The Heckler & Koch HK45 (Heckler & Koch, .45 ACP) is a semi-automatic pistol designed by the German arms manufacturer Heckler & Koch.
Heckler & Koch also manufactures the HK45 Compact (HK45C), which has an 8 round magazine. The HK45C features the same improvements as the full-size HK45, but has a more conventional straight grip similar to Heckler & Koch's P2000. This design still allows the user to customize the grip size via interchangeable backstraps.
HK45C adopted by the United States Naval Special Warfare Command in September 2010.

Many military and law enforcement organizations in the United States and other countries continue to use (often modified) M1911A1 pistols including Marine Corps Special Operations Command, Los Angeles Police Department S.W.A.T. and L.A.P.D. S.I.S., the FBI Hostage Rescue Team, F.B.I. regional S.W.A.T. teams, and 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment—Delta (Delta Force). The Tacoma, Washington Police Department selected the Kimber Pro Carry II or Pro Carry II HD as optional, department supplied weapons available to its officers.



I do believe the toilet just flushed.
A simple Google search will bring up more information than you can read in a week... it ain't difficult to find creditably referenced material.

Thank you Whitespider!

So you really think its an abomination to eat shellfish, as is stated clearly in the bible?

Old testiment and new testiment are different.

I am even so bold, that I drink milk when I consume meat. Nothing like a pot roast washed down with a glass of milk.

"I came not to wash away the old law, but to make new law."

Your arguement holds no water since He would have been guilty of breaking OT law Himself, if it were not for writing new law.

I am not participating in this thread to make enemies or hurt someone's "feelers". I am merely pointing out facts. I prefer facts and logic to emotional thinking. I prefer critical thinking skills to knee jerk reaction.

Bull poopie ... are you refusing to admit to the times you shot out the open barn door? :msp_tongue:

That is called firing from concealment.

Yesterday, I shot a groundhog while standing inside my kitchen door with a .17HMR. (true story)

It helps to shoot your food from where you cook and eat it. (may or may not be true )

As far as the original posters question as to CCW while cutting . The answer is yes I do , I carry always . I feel as long as it is done in a responsible and legal manner go ahead and do as you wish . I won't force you to carry a weapon if you don't want to . Just don't tell me I can't or should not because you don't want to . As to the issue of the Military carrying 45' s . I don't know where some guys get their info from but some units most definitely carry 45' s as well as numerous PDs . The 45 vs 9mm debate will go on forever just like Stihl vs Husky . But it doesn't change the fact that certain military units carry 45's . Some of the comments posted were so ridiculous I am not sure if the poster was serious or just trying to get a rise out of some of the guys . What it comes down to is you do your thing and I will do mine just don't force your opinion on me and I won't force mine on you . By the way I like 45's and 9mm's and own Stihls and Huskys as well as Fords and Chevys . What a great country we have to have so many choices and the freedom to disagree !

You don't like .45s?

Looks to me like a pedantic argument on both sides. "the .45 is not used..." Correct if one is talking about the 1911 .45 version. Wrong if one is referring to the modern versions thereof or refering just to the caliber of the rounds.


Lots of bw wasted on a nothing argument.

Not true turnkey...
Both the Army Delta Force and Marine Force Recon carry the 1911.

I don't recall any short arm inspections happening ... did you touch my wienie?

LMAO!!!
Now that includes you, but not slowp.

I guess you are near the bottom, averages you know, 9.4 to zero.

I dislike them if they are the Dirty Harry style. I was forced to shoot one after badly beating "the boys" in a game of shoot the flying clay pigeons, or whatever you call it when you launch the clay pigeons and shoot them in the air (preferably) with shotguns. I am not a handgunner. The Dirty Harry gun was bulky, heavy, and I shot the dirt. So, no.

The boys whined that I wasn't letting the clay pigeons get far enough away like they were. Poor boys. (play violin here) .

A good dog and a shotgun--that's it. But don't use a shotgun to kill a rattler when the snake is up against a pile of irrigation pipe. Don't ask me how I know this.

 

[logbutcher]

Just for jollies: you can prove anything online.

It is sad that Dandy Randy is off his meds. He doesn't take to rejection well. Condolances.:tongue2:

Since I'm just back from banned camp, I've got to be careful with the big boys here ( D.R. included). They don't take to two-way firefights, and whine to the authorities. So, no more foot-in-mouth for this one. ( Do not say "GOL" or "boring" :msp_razz.

Back to the OP : I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone finds the need to work the woods, and carry unless you are seriously trained (repeat --"seriously trained" ), have a license to carry, and for some reason are fearful of woodchucks . Damn, here we have bear, turkey, mountain lion, bobcat, deadly deer. The only time I wet my pants is when a male turkey in heat came after me in season last year; must have been between him and his girl. Each his/her own; this is still a free country. Thank those who keep it that way.

That would be a .44 magnum. Completely different animal than .45ACP

 

[camr]

REALLY now ? Try again with this. Get straight info first. Hk perhaps, never HK 45 in any S.O.:biggrin:
Will all those who can hit the side of a barn with a 45 kindly raise their hands ..........now. Damn, by the time you get that bag of iron out of your pants, the bad guys have you between the crotch; or, maybe somewhere that hurts.
45's were for the staff fools who never ever pulled a weapon.
....there is this bridge for sale Cheeves..........................:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Coincidently, I was in the woods with the OP and several other family members this morning sharing some quality time and practicing with an array of hand and long guns. My HK45C was test driven by all in attendance and, as I recall, the spinner target got a pretty good workout from about 15 yards. So I'd have to say, I think I will be raising my hand because I believe I could hit that barn. Even the narrow end! Next trip I'll have to take along one of the 1911's to test the theory that John Browning really did have some idea on how to design a firearm.

Thank you.

logbutcher-
Man you better be checking your facts before you post... your credibility is falling into the toilet.
The HK .45 is in fact being used by special ops.

Not to mention the old 1911A1 still bieng issued to several USMC units, and the FBI.
AK Highway patrol=Glock 21 .45acp, as well as a couple hundred other LEA nationwide.

The old 1911A1 is also issued to a whole slew of western law enforcement agencys.

Matter of fact, the .45acp 1911A1 is the best selling design on the market currently, and made by no fewer than 30 different manufacturers domesticly. The 1911 aftermarket parts and customization industry, is a multi-million dollar a year entity that has not stopped growing since the late 60's.

It's not yesterdays news by any stretch, as it is writing history again tomorrow and the day after.
If someone has issues shooting one, they reflect poorly on thier instructor, and the same can be said of any reliable platform in any chambering.

Stay safe!
