My youngest grandson recently completed a year tour of duty in Africa. Right now he is making up for lost time chasing everything that wiggles, jiggles and giggles. Be 22 yrs old in August. In a few weeks he will be transferred back to his reserve unit He is enrolled at the U of MN. Upon graduation he will then complete the last of his OCS training for a Marine officer [life time commitment]. Been his dream/goal since he was 8 yrs old.
He will be contacting instructors to get his p to c class from the list I sent him. And he needs a carry weapon. This is where I come in. Today I brought home a Colt O8011 XSE Combat Elite and a Colt Series 70 O1970AiCS. Or he can take my Colt Combat Commander,O4091U [like new]. His choice. Have to find a set of grips with the Marine Devil Dog.
One goes in the safe for my GREAT grandson. God willing he is to arrive in Aug or Sept. I will take what is left over. A fun day with a lot more to enjoy. Take care and stay safe.

If you decide you want to adopt a 24yr old grandson, you let me know... I was in the army /hint /hint
All joking aside, sounds like you're going to have some fun.
