Here is the Synopsis we ran across:
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. Along the way, he gives the reader a glimpse into the secretive world of U.S. Special Operations weapons development, highlights the details of some of history’s most valued production and custom guns, and opens the door to premiere 1911 builders and custom shops. Included are rare and unique pistols made by Colt, Kimber, Pachmayr, Springfield Armory, STI, Wilson Combat, and a number of custom builders such as Jason Burton, Jim Garthwaite, John Harrison, Richard Heinie, Paul Liebenberg, Steve Nastoff, Wayne Novak, Armand Swenson and Larry Vickers.

You Never Know Where They’ll Show Up

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.

MilSim West – Baofeng Radio Pouch
October 4th, 2015MilSim West is a Veteran-owned and operated Military Simulation/Wargaming company. They have partnered with Tactical Tailor to produce a ‘100% US make and materials’ line of softgoods marketed towards the MilSim and Wargaming market.

The Baofeng Radio Pouch is sized to fit one of the most commonly used radios in MilSim, Airsoft, and Wargaming, the Baofeng UV-5R. This radio is inexpensive and easy to program, however it is also sized too small to fit in standard Military-spec radio pouches. The pouch is sized for the UV-5R with the extended battery pack, and can fold down, allowing the user to view the screen of the radio and make any adjustments through the vinyl window.
