I was in the 1st Cav 67-68 everybody had a backup or hideaway gun, saw just about everything you could think of; Rugers, Smiths,cut down M2 carbine and lots of derringers, one very large one that took 22 magnums. I carried a 1911 I had put together out of eight different pistols we had found somewhere. It was ugly but would really shoot.
