The 92FS isn't an inherently bad gun, I personally think the main issue is that the issued 9mm FMJ ball just sucks. I love .45 as much as the next flag-waving American, but beefing up the M9 and switching to +p ammunition would likely resolve the stopping power complaints.

The only solution is to give everyone a Coonan, because ol' durka durka can get rekt

In a perfect world, we could purchase our own sidearms like the English allowed their officers to do.

I'd by my ass a M-45 in a heartbeat.

Glock brand Glocks and Deagle brand Deagles errywhere, man.

Speaking of sidearms, cousin was a very heavily and specifically trained Navy Corpsman, and when they went to issue him a sidearm, they had 0 operable M9s; they figured he was fairly responsible, so they gave him a Kimber something or other they had laying around . He ended up buying the closest thing he could get to it when he had the chance, still has it. Also, my uncle lucked out during the Vietnam war and was assigned to a VIP babysitting position on a USMC base over in California, and they issued him 2 1911's; a very nice Royal Blue Colt Government 1911 for show, and a rattletrap M1911A1 to be kept in a shoulder holster. He was specifically told to never, ever do anything with or attempt to take apart the nicer one under any circumstances

In Vietnam, Pop carried a Model 15 in a shoulder holster that was locally made in Thailand and a -1911A1 in the standard black leather "US" holster, but we wore slung in front of him as an impromptu groin protector.

"MURDERCOCK!" Mack's Pop shouted at the Vietcong, as he whipped out his 1911 and blasted them all in the genitals

Women can no longer complain about how they know the best feeling in the world.

Women say the best feeling in the world is taking their bra off after a long day.

I'm throwing a flag.

You know what the best feeling in the world is?

Taking your body armor off after 12 hours.

Yes indeed. I'm particularly fond of that feeling in August when the temps are over 100 degrees all day. During heat waves I go through a uniform a day. I don't know how those guys down in Texas or Alabama or Phoenix do it. Whew.
