After the 24th of this month I have to call my nephew El Tee.......
.....
Commissioning ceremony via Skype. Because of C19...
....
I don't have to get dressed up and show up in person.... But damned if I kinda wish I did.
Now begs the question - should I get him a sword, a 1911a, or a Beretta model 92 for a commissioning gift?
I'm leaning towards the .45....

The sword. Everyone should own swords.

He was over here a few weeks ago on the pistol range and I made him feel really bad about being bested profusely by an old crippled guy...
And no - zero chance of him"letting " me score higher.... I have been shooting with him since childhood.. I know how well he shoots.
I just shoot better...

I kinda like that too... But he's a ground pounder (Army) and I know he would prefer a handgun...
Won’t the army supply him with a gun? Seems the least they could do.

.45- What brand would you buy? Get him that nice Dan Wesson Discretion Commander model for $2200...easy for me to spend your money.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
