In Response To: The Colt .45 in PID (Darksbane)

: Hey, I noticed that you said the Colt .45 was phased out in 1984.

: Well, that may have been officially true, but when I recall a conversation I
: had with my cousin, assigned to a tank unit during the Persian Gulf.

: We were shooting around with a fancy little semi-automatic with a laser sight
: that he had bought recently.

: I asked, "So, did you use something like this in the gulf?"

: "Heck no," he replied; "we only wished for them. We were using
: WWI issue Colt .45's, and lucky to have them."

: So, regardless what the official word was, those ancient colts were still in
: use in Desert Storm, the war which the US loves to praise as the triumph
: of superior technology, a date not that far from pathways.

I'll add this to the PID page. Thanks.

Cheers
Hamish
