Welcome aboard Allen. It's good to have another soldier in our ranks. (Any reason your Colt has the short barrel?)

Thanks for the welcome, the short barrel on my .45 (Springfield) is because its actually one of my conceal carry guns, branch/army, my original MOS is 11B (3rd inf div) however since then I have been a combat engineer (367th) and latest a tank gunner (34th/NG), had I enlisted one more time I would have become a scout due to my last unit transitioning from one MOS to another.
Thanks again,
Allen
