"According to Rogers’ office, the Army currently spends some $200,000 a year to store the pistols."

FML...I shoulda been the Unit Armorer.

Likely just the rent on a warehouse owned by some relative of a congress critter.

It'll still be at least a year, and maybe two before these actually make it through the system and end up for sale though... At least according to the amendment's sponsor.

Holy ****. Can ODT have any thread without someone popping on, thinking they are funny, and *****ing about stippling? For crap's sake.

No. It's in the rules. No thread is official until the stippling joke or a minimum of 2 krylon and or bubba comments.

Yeah, don't get too excited. The authorization calls for 10,000 units to be sold, then the report after the first year of the program when a decision will be made to continue or scrap it.

Which means $1500+ on ODT.

$1500 LOOKING FOR $1800.00

Gotta git that "come up" from the folks that don't know about CMP.
