| | ONE GOOD PISTOL: Kimber MCSOCOM ICQB |
 | | It was in 1917 that the United States Marine Corps adopted the.45 ACP Model of 1911 pistol, and the Marines used the gun continuously from World War I through the Vietnam War. |
 | | Still, a pistol weapon-light mount was a requirement and, since MEU (SOC) had experienced excellent results with the Dawson Precision Rail that had been added to many of its 1911 pistols, this mount was selected for the new Kimber ICQB Pistol. |
 | | Disassembling the pistol's frame group is another matter, due to the unique method by which the ambidextrous thumb safety is held in place. |
