he made claim that he was issued a small frame shot barrel revolver. from his description it would be a J frame with a 2" or shorter barrel. maybe he was issued a 4 inch barrel K frame. so we are talking about different guns
as for shooting your way out surrounded by your highly armed enemy, i don't think it's going to matter a while hill of beans whether you are toting a 1911 or a k frame revolver. neither will get you out and both leave you relatively unarmed however, if you were telling me we were going to have a gun fight and offered for me to "choose my weapon" i'd pick the 1911 and let you have the revolver every time. i am unclear on why the air force chose to issue revolvers as well On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 10:39 PM, G Mann <g2ma...@gmail.com> wrote: > We may be talking apples and oranges.. or we may be talking only apples.. > Apparently.. crew issue sidearms were at the discretion of the armory at > the departing base.
