KillerFord I can include myself as being trained once while in the military with the POS 38 for our flight vests. We had a one-day training course and then range time. That piece of crap couldn't hit a barn door at five yards let alone a man. You were better off using it as a club. If I ever had...

Beautiful looking pistol. The price is more than what most common folk can afford or justify for a pistol. The Ronin is a nice-looking pistol and under a grand. Probably get something slightly used for a little less.

The pistols that I drool over are the SK custom jobs, not all of them but some of them are downright gorgeous and I would love to own. But they are waaayyyyy out of my price range.

My FFL just called me tonight and my new Echelon is in. Can't wait to get it and try it out. Happy Father's Day gents.

I love me some 45 ACP. Mine is a Springfield Range Officer and my oldest grandson's shoot it better than the 9mm pistol. God, forbid I let them handle weapons in this day and age. They know how, what, when, and the proper way to handle every firearm we have. Makes me proud when they tell adults...

That is a very nice collection.

The Echelon comes in a threaded barrel option.

I like both the new colors, decisions, decisions.

Silvermane - you make that trip it will bring back good memories for you and closure. It sounds to me as if you are really missing him a lot and there is an empty space in your life. God can you, all you need to do is ask.

Still saving my pennies

I don't believe the generation now can even understand what or how the great generation and the people from that era worked together. Not only were they frugal and did not waste anything, but they could also be counted on to help each other out during tough times. Neighbors all knew one another...

That's neat looking, I like the splatter. Do you like the pistol better with the comp.?

I have the Ronin and Range Officer full size Springfield pistols, although the Ronin is in 9mm. Both are great weapons and have been very good shooters. I want to get another 45 someday.

At one point our group had a mission and we had 27 Huey's lined up ready for take-off. I was not on this mission I got to experience it from the ground, what a rush. The vibration that went thru your chest just felt awesome when all those birds were up and running ready for take-off. When they...

Dr. Dabbs, thank you so much for including the start-up video in your article. Hearing that sound really brought back memories of my time in service. I was a crewchief/Doorgunner on UH-1's. My pilots also made sure we got stick time, just in case something happened. I have flown both the OH-58...

I just keep saving my pennies and am looking forward to the day when I can purchase my Echelon. I think when I do I'll get the threaded barrel and night sights.

You are correct in your answer the Walt Disney Company was responsible for the design. I also still have my copy of the Landmark book. I remember it because I did a book report about it. Grumpy - That scarf looks amazing.

I have been saving up for an Echelon, but maybe now I may get this threaded barrel option rather than the 4.5 inch barrel.

That is the pistol I really want, the Echelon. I am hoping by the time I have enough coin saved up for one, that they will have come out in 45acp. Don't get me wrong 9mm is okay, I am just kinda partial to that big old fat cartridge.

If I remember correctly when I did a paper in school, some of the material I found said that Mr. Scott did a lot of background work before he did the movie to learn about the man. Mr. Scott had indicated that he felt that the U.S. government and the Soviets worked together covertly to get rid...
