Beat me too it J LOL!!
Gorgeous weapons, very fitting with all the references to what the guards represent and present to the public. The members of the honor guard are very dedicated to their job. I keep remembering that they have declined to leave their posts even for hurricanes.
Absolutely beautiful weapons. Extended mags too. I hope those 4 stay there and are passed down to the next guard as that part of history.
One place that is on my bucket list of travels is the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and to watch the ceremony live.

Awesome!!! Thanks.
That would be awesome, but not practical.
There are four soldiers on duty at one time, but their shifts are only 30 minutes to one hour. I could not find an exact number, but I will hazard at least 60 soldiers not including all the command, and support staff. These will be the only pistols at this time is my guess. Modern times we don't get to keep our guns like in the old days.
Very nice pistol. The finish reminds me of the old classic royal blue on a Colt Python.
I think they could have done better with the design of the holster. It looks more like a Yaqui CC design rather than something that should be worn with military dress uniform.
