Re: 2/75 KIA

I knew him in passing. He was a great warrior, and a solid dude! I am sad to see him go like this. My prayers are with his family, and closest friends during this time. RIP Sgt Tyler Holtz, we will all miss you brother!

My wife has taken my Model 26 I bought, but that is another nice small, light weight pistol that wont really d...
