It was on our news too, guess the don't expect to be atacked by their own "brothers". Perhaps attacks like these aren'st so bad because they might cause a shift in normal muslims behavior towards terrorism.

I can't really tell what it is, but I know that some USMC SOF units use rebuilt Colt M1911A1's called the MEU(SOC) Pistol. Many of the pictures I've seen of guys using it also have those "telephone cables," normally called lanyards to prevent you from losing it in combat.

Yeah, the MARPAT camo -> USMC -> MEU(SOC) pistol...that was my thinking...

Thats a Beretta with a lanyard cord in some sort of aftermarket nylon drop leg holster. (The grip is too fat for a 1911, and it has a solid backstrap as opposed to the 1911s seperate grip safety and mainspring housing)

MEU-SOC Force Recon units and the USSOC Detatchment 1 units use modified 1911 pistols in Safariland 6004 drop holsters. Recon and Det 1 also use the M4 with Aimpoint, not the M16A2.

According to the pistol with lanyard... I think it is USP - look at the lower part of grip, I think there is a "hole" that makes pulling of the mag out from grip easier... And the grip is fat enough to accept doble-column 9 mm or .45 mag.

Does it make any sense?
