Hey gang,

I noticed that Amazon is out of stock of these books. I checked with the author, and he let me know you can purchase a copy direct from Portrayal Press here: https://www.portrayalpress.com/product-p/620-2002.htm

This is a GREAT pic! Three 1911s, plus an M1 carbine, PLUS an M3 tank with aircraft-type "nose art"...man, WWII pics just don't hardly GET any better than that!

The 1911 was also carried in Desert Storm and for a period after that. We had a mixture of 1911s and M9s. I observed this in both active duty armor / Cav units and several Nations Guard units.

You're right. All carried .45s in our division during the Gulf War except the few very high ups.

Haha. Yeah I think our Bn Crd and CSM had M9s. I was a 1LT way back then. I had a 1911 A1 and a M3 grease gun. It was not even a M3A1.
