I was watching the morning news.
They showed the riots in France.
I spotted the Police / Army carrying A bullpup style rifle.
Then I spotted what looked exactly like the grip and style of a 1911 in their combat holster.

Interesting. I had no idea any foreign police departments were using the Mini-14. That's kind of neat, though honestly, I'd rather have an AR or M16/M4 if I were them... but then it sounds like the Mini-14 was picked by politicos because it wasn't as "scary" looking.

1911 is still popular for French shooters, yes?
None of the photos looked anything like the rig I seen on the video.
All I could see was from the grip back. it looked exactly like a 1911.
