I got the latest issue yesterday. The cover has some Marines from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Force in a live fire drill on the USS Belleau Wood. I count 3 1911`s:D and one Beretta. Nice story inside with the son of a NYC firefighter who was killed 9/11.
 
Force Reconnaissance

That photo is of 5th Platoon, 1st Force Reconnaissance Company.
Force uses the MEU(SOC) Pistol, The only thing 1911 on it is the GI Frame.
The M9 is used by the attached EOD Det.

Just FYI
 
MEU(SOC) Pistols

For more info on these Marine Corps unique guns, see "The Marine Corps MEU(SOC) Pistol", June 99 Tactical Shooter.

For more about Force Reconnaissance, their training, mission, and equipment, see www.forcerecon.com or www.force recon.net, and look for "Strong Men Armed"
