Thanks for your service to our Country, at a time when we were spit on when we rotated back to the world. Did your Platoon Sgt. make it back OK? I carried a .45 1911-A-1 as my TO weapon, but saw a variety of riot and guard configured 12 gauge pumps "In Country"- Stevens, Winchester Models: 12, 25 and of course the M97 we are discussing here. Occasionally an Ithaca M37 as well.
