Not Recon(26 MEU) but some interesting weapons from '23, looks very similar to recon setups.

Each MEU gets a Recon Platoon when they form or in Marine vernacular  “composite” for its pre deployment training.

Pretty cool that it looked like the entire platoon had their blackbelts. Back in the day that was pretty rare.

How can you tell?  I'd assume the belt that holds up the pants and not the pistol belt?

Correct.

Same color is a coincidence. These belts merely hold up pants.

Different belts for different missions. One’s for being in uniform regs, the other for operating operationally. No reason to overthink it. Just hard dick grunts doing hard dick things.

Just giving insight since he asked but MCMAP belts are still worn even when "operating" . Unless you obviously have a two piece war belt

Probably nothing. They've been vocal on not using a qd swivel. Same as me. Doing vbs raids. Do you really want to be raiding a ship and having swivel fail? All slings should be tied to the rifle with zero qd.

Yeah, it seems Tango Down in shape but different design.   I have a pic of the Tango down mount being used with another SRT unit.  I'm wondering if the one I pictured was an earlier model and it changed over time.

That’s an M45. The MEUSOC is a different 1911.

Sorry for the mis ID, I'm not a hater but I'm not a 1911 guy, not even a little bit.  I own one and its a dust collector.

P220 is superior for a 45, and if given the choice in their armory Id pick a M9A1 every day and twice on sunday(I have never been in the military).

Because it still works whether it’s in front of or behind the FSB. Some people set their gear up for what works the best for them, not because someone else told them to.

I get that. So why would it work better behind the fsb if they all shoot with their hands in front of the fsb?
