[QUOTE="murphy j, post: 1856323, member: 6452"] It's my understanding that support has gotten better for the 'cool kids'. I've followed this thread for a few days now and some of you guy's are pissin' and moaning like you know what's best for those select few Marines that made the cut to be in MARSOC. These Marines have a purpose, which is to go into places that average line grunts like me don't get to/can't/not allowed to go and find the stinky, bearded, man jammie wearing booger eaters and shoot them in the face. These guys found that a 1911 suits THEIR NEEDS best. Not yours, but theirs. They didn't want Sig, Glock, FN, Beretta or HK. They wanted a 1911. The previously listed firearms are all good guns in their own right, but they're not 1911s. Who are you, I or some chairborne commando number cruncher to decide what the needs are of the guys at the tip of the spear? The end users had a say in what they wanted and they got it. Given a choice between 9mm ball ammo and .45 ball ammo, I'll take .45 any day of the week. Besides, it's a SECONDARY weapon in case some of you guy's missed that. These Marines are gonna use these guns well and I applaud the fact that there's a SPECOPS unit still doing so. [/QUOTE]
