  3. http://www.foxnews.c...aliber-pistols/ It’s been called the greatest handgun ever made, and it has barely changed sine 1911, when the legendary John Browning designed it especially for the U.S. Military. And now, the Colt .45 M1911 is making a big comeback, now that the U.S. Marines have placed a $22.5 million order for the Connecticut-made pistols. The gun, which has been wielded on film by John Wayne and in real life by Sgt. Alvin York and Maj. Audie Murphy, was the standard-issue sidearm in the military for decades, until it was replaced by the Beretta M9 in 1985. "It just became an iconic part of military and American history," Gerry Dinkel, CEO and president of Colt Defense, told FoxNews.com. The gun, one of the most successful pistols ever used at Camp Perry's National Matches, a competition known to be the main world event in artillery sports, has barely changed since it's creation. Dinkel says that shows the gun's "elegant design" just can't be improved on. And firearms experts agree. "You can’t beat a .45 cartridge," Jack Lewis, firearms director for Cowan's Auctions, told FoxNews.com. "Some things are hard to replace," he said. Colt Defense, based in Hartford, Conn., will supply as many as 12,000 of the 200,000 U.S. Marines with semi-automatic, tan-colored M45 Close Quarter Battle Pistols, and they will include spare parts and logistical support. The gun has long been the weapon of choice for special operations agents, thanks to its reliability and the stopping power of its massive bullets. "I'm really glad that they're keeping it in the American economy," Lewis, who used the gun while he was in the armed forces, said. "I was quite upset when they went to the Beretta," Lewis said. Some reports suggest Marines are not happy with their main Beretta M9s for their lack of accuracy and stopping power. With M1911's now supplying Special Ops, growing interest may lead to a better solution. "To have the 1911 selected again for U. S. Forces 101 years after its initial introduction is just an incredible testament to the timeless design and effectiveness of the Colt 1911," Dinkel said. "This is truly a gratifying contract award."

    Charlie, Prayers sent to your daughter and your family. I too hope you get an overwhelming response at the fundraiser.
  17. Coach! Wish i would have known it was you! I enjoyed the rain shower right after I saw you. Poured heavy. Had just finished up glassing a herd of lope and a few elk, just out and about. Wish i could have finally met you.
  18. Last week I and a few friends had the pleasure of getting together for dinner. We had a nice experience visiting a Queen Creek establishment that has been generous with support of a few wildlife orgs in the state. Trophy's Steakhouse in Queen Creek has donated to silent raffles at wildlife banquets as well as contest giveaways etc. I urge you all to check it out and give back to those that support us. As sportsmen, it's a nice ambiance to enjoy, from the wood paneling on the walls to the trophies displayed throughout the establishment. If you are a beer connoisseur, you'll appreciate the beer list, with many brews on tap, and if you can enjoy a happy hour there as well with money savings on your favorites. I'll let the pictures do the talking. I hope you get to check it out and maybe I'll see you there! http://trophyssteakhouse.com/Home.html Elk & Buffalo meat loaf, antelope sausage, calamari, venison steak, and beef chislic Pork Wings (very delicious) Spinach Salad Grilled Ribeye Buffalo Burger BBQ Pork Ribs Roast Duck

  25. In Amanda's situation, that bear is lucky that her husband Paul wasn't there. He will fight to the dead protecting his food.
