Fwiw I was in security forces and I really can't imagine 5 guns covering anything, in terms of shifts. It's like they took some but left a token 5.

SRT got them, Recon got them, the MP school got them because whoever wrote the fielding plan didn't realize that the Marine Det at Leonard Wood doesn't run the school for the SRT guys-the Army does.

I’ve read that the 2112 could purchase the parts at cost and practice their trade on their time. Still a good price if it sells for that. I’d love to have it, not in the position to come up with that money tomorrow. |

Everyone has their threshold for what is rare and what is a correct one, but to think that there aren’t hundreds of 2112 built-in-PWS guns would be a stretch. The one in the auction looks great and would be a great addition to anyone’s collection.

So being honest, I haven’t kept up on the last fourteen-odd years of this thread, no longer own any form of MEU(SOC) .45 (or currently any 1911s for that matter, though that will be changing again this week—found a MAC “JSOC” on sale and decided it was time to jump back in) and haven’t read the last 60+ pages of this thread… so forgive me if what I’m posting has already been said, but I thought it would be useful / interesting information to some:
Surefire LM2-B-BK 600 Lumen Upgrade Module Trajectory Arms 628LFA Scout Conversion Module Was messing around with some old gear to do a potential “Retro-Mod” gun that doesn’t significantly lose “fighting” capability to a more modern pistol and wanted to see if the Laser Products (Surefire) 610R could be made to be more “functional.” I was aware of the Malkoff conversions, and I understand that some people have been putting LED heads from airsoft copies () in them, but for what may be obvious reasons, not only did I want to try to up the output in general, I was also interested in trying to get some IR capability out of it if possible. I managed to find two other update / “conversion” modules that were intended for the 600-series Surefire fore ends that I went ahead and bought to test out and pleasantly found that not only were they compatible (as expected—but you never know until you try…) with the old 6v Classic Weapon Light that I wisely chose to hang on to, even after selling all my 1911s and most of the related gear, but also seem to preserve the form-factor well enough to be compatible with the old Safariland “Colt 6v” 6004 holster (will confirm this week), allowing me to [mostly] preserve my preferred “duty” carry setup. Anyways, thought it would be interesting and semi-relevant information to anyone that had / was rocking one of these old 610R / 310R setups and wanted an easy update option to get a little bit more modern performance from time to time (can easily be swapped back to “clone correct” configuration). The Trajectory Arms module is particularly exciting to me, since it allows the mounting of a KM2 6v Vampire head, giving me both IR and white light capabilities—now just have to see if I can find an old set of Crimson Trace IR laser grips! ~Augee |

It’s good to hear Shawn’s name mentioned here. I’ve got two 1911’s that Shawn built for me. Unfortunately, neither is a MEU SOC model. One is a Rock Island Arsenal 1911 that he turned into a real tack driver and the other is a Caspian 1911 frame and slide that he completed. My other rifle that he built for me is a copy of the M40A5. I gave him a Remington 700 receiver and he put it together. Oh, he also built a designated marksman M14 for me on a Fulton Armory receiver. I've got a MEU SOC 1911 that one of the PWS 2112’s built for me, however, it was so long ago that I’ve forgotten his name. He may still be on ARF, one of the really good guys.
