The following link came to my inbox today. I'd no idea that the good old P17 was still in active service somewhere in the world - Greenland of all places.

Milsurps turned me into a collector, rather than just a shooter/hunter. That is a neat article. I had no idea the US M1917 was still being used like that!

Awesome!
