French police or Army carring bullpup and 1911

[Sylvain]

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.

Could it be that thing?
Who was carrying it? What type of uniform? Soldier in camo?

 

[OakRiver]

RUC used to use the AC556.

The Northern Irish Police? I was more used to seeing them with MP5s or G3s. Now their specialist units have G36Cs.

1. Royal Ulster Constabulary.

2. I am well above the median age for INGO. Not the use of "used to".

You down with M-A-B? Yeah, you know me.

That's what I thought, but just wanted to be sure which RUC we were talking about. I don't remember seeing them with Mini 14s, so maybe that was Special Branch's forte.

But I thought Sting sang "I don't want to spend the rest of my life, looking down the barrel of an Armalite.."?

Sting knows the Four Rules better than INGO.

About 10 years ago Oakwood Guns over in Louisville had a RIC Enfield mint, and I mean mint for $600.....I regret not getting that to this day...

*golf clap*

Well played.

'Tis a good day for the INGOist Bar Review today.

I know...I went shooting with him once back in the 80's and he kept telling all of the bystanders and hangers on, "Don't stand...Don't stand...Don't stand so close to me..."

Always safety first with him...He used to be with the Police you know...Probably where he picked up his respect of the four rules....

 

[Benp]

Also, he has references all of the brass on the ground when says he walked in fields of gold.

 

[GlockLover]

Because they possibly are good shots.....

What the facts concerning capacity versus accuracy? I'm willing to bet you have a 1911. Am I right?

 

[GlockLover]

Because that is what they are issued.

(Understand that most of the police in France are directly controlled by Paris, both GN and PN/SN. Decisions are to gear come from the top down and far away).

This makes perfect sense. I fully understand using what is issued.

Churchmouse IS the 1911.


That's also his date of birth.

 

[GlockLover]

I thought the very same thing. I understand the sidearm is a backup weapon, not primary, but myself...I want every round available should that need arise...

I fully agree. It makes zero sense to limit capabilities due to antiquated beliefs.

If he was with the Police that was always a possability in Northern Ireland

About 10 years ago Oakwood Guns over in Louisville had a RIC Enfield mint, and I mean mint for $600.....I regret not getting that to this day...

I saw one of those on Forgotten Weapons, given their relative rarity $600 would have been a steal

B.C., right?

You know what we need? A good thread about Glock vs. 1911. I don't think I've ever seen a thread like that on a gun forum.

You know it's kind of funny...Church came down for a visit and I wanted to show him around so I took him down to the Falls of the Ohio State Park to see the largest exposed Devonian Fossil beds on earth.....We're down there looking at the fossil beds and I turn to Church and said, "Hard to believe brother that this was all a shallow warm water sea at one time" and noticed he was getting kind of emotional, wiped his eyes even...I said, "Buddy you all right? Everything okay?" he said, "Yeah I'm fine...It's just...Well...I caught my first coelacanth fishing with my grand pappy right off of that reef..."
