No, we aren’t going to be making anymore Glocks because we never made any in the first place.

Formally adopted by the U.S. Army in 1911 and continuing in service for over 100 years, the Government Model 1911 pistol has undergone remarkably few changes throughout its long history yet remains relevant today. Known by many simply as “America’s Pistol,” the 1911 has been trusted by soldiers on battlefields spanning two centuries, carried by law enforcement, refined in small custom shops across the U.S., and revered by firearms enthusiasts and collectors as a work of art. Larry Vickers – renown combat veteran, firearms instructor and small arms expert – takes you on a one of a kind tour of some of history’s finest examples of the 1911, as he shares pistols from his own personal collection as well as those of his friends and other firearms specialists.

Coming this holiday season.
This time, the KCRF patch has made its way to Wadi Rum! For those interested in a bit of history, Wadi Rum is famous as the place where King Faisal and T.E. Lawrence united the Arab Bedouin tribes and waged a textbook guerrilla war on the Turkish army, then pushed north to Damascus as the British right flank. It’s also where David Lean’s classic “Lawrence of Arabia” was filmed.
Major thanks to ‘DK’ for the pic and info!
Keep ’em coming!
