I never liked this stuff. I always thought it was nothing more than high tech paint. Apparently it wears no better.

I'd like to know why the military is buying fancy color pistols.

I work on radar systems for the USMC. Trust me when I say they are rough on equipment. Multi million dollar systems treated like junk. I wouldn't expect them to treat side arms any better.

What's the saying? If you lock a Marine in a room with an anvil, he'll either break it, lose it, or get it pregnant?

The returned guns have already been sold to the public.
