Hi CH47gunner,

I did not want to hijack Diamondback68's thread on the LH 624's so I am starting a new one. Could you please tell me what handgun you carried in Viet Nam? I know this has been brought up from time to time about aircrew weapons. The helicopter crews I saw in West Germany in the mid 80's all seemed to have the Model 10 round butt with a white metal colored extension hanging out from under the butt that served as a lanyard attachment point. It was an "L" shaped bracket that was secured under the grip plate. It was not a swivel. There were alot of Chinooks over in West Germany when I was stationed there.
Thanks for your service to our country.
