Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Quite the bare bones rig. Almost as minimal as Tuco's in the GB&U movie. Since he's carrying it cocked, I'd say when he has to shoot, he shoots - no talking. SW

(mostly I just want to save the pic)

This was the cage holster that was the J.V.Borghese's distinguishing. Prince Borghese was the commander of the submarine that carried the men that sunk two battle ship in Alessandria arbour and was the founder of the Xa MAS.
After him many R.S.I. men adopted similar holsters.
Perhaps the gun is not a P38 but a HP, previous model of that gun, many of which were acquired by Italian Navy special corps, like S.Marco NP.
