Impression Breakdown

 
I may not have the body of Chris Evans but that doesn't mean I can't dress like him.  Below is what I plan to get to complete the outfit he wore in the Captain America movie during the prison breakout scenes.  Aside from the leather jacket and his shirt, the rest of the outfit is actually pretty standard WWII stuff that can be purchased easily.

My Glock

Thanks to Stephen, I can now add a Glock 17 to my collection.  This will now complete my SRU impression.  As for the gun itself, it is completely in stock form.  First order of business is to replace the plastic slide with a PGC slide.  As of now, a stock Tokyo Marui Glock 17 will not be able to fit in a Blackhawk SERPA holster due to the plastic slide being slightly larger than an actual one.  With a metal slide, I can use it with the SERPA that I prefer.

Lucky for me, the metal slide and extra mags can be purchased locally so when I gather all the funds, the slide will be replaced.  I had a look at the internals of the slide and it seems simple enough for me to take apart and put together again.  I have done this several times with a P226 and a Desert Eagle but this will be my first time with a Glock.

At first. I was not a fan of Glocks but somehow, the 17 grew on me for some reason.  My preference would be a 1911 or a P226 but since my P226 is missing and I now have two 1911s, I needed a sidearm for my law enforcement impressions.  The 17 is perfect for this, seeing as Toronto Police also use it.  I can't wait to game this pistol once I finish the upgrade.

Some Thoughts

Lately, I have been thinking of getting into the WWII airsoft scene but have yet to make the plunge.  I know that several of my teammates are interested as well.  Overall, I always loved the classic look of the US paratrooper so I am leaning towards that look for now.  Several of us have talked about what faction we should go into, and I have joked that I should go as Captain America.  I am actually not sure if this is allowed but I think it will be fun.

I'm So Pretty

Here is a picture of me with Jason from Rhino 2012.  I was told that I look pretty in this but I am not so sure.  At this point, we were guarding against an entire section of Russian forces who were planning to advance on our position.  We had no cover and eventually we were killed but we looked good doing it.  I guess.

2011 TAD Stealth Jacket

Three years ago, I purchased my first TAD Stealth Jacket out of curiosity.  I had nothing to go other than the description on their website but it seemed like a Navy SEAL gucci kit so I bought one.  With names like Urban Brown and Sith Black, who could resist.  I got the brown and upon receiving it, I really didn't think much of the jacket.  It was expensive, it was a softshell with a thin fleece lining inside and it didn't have an inside pocket for me to put my iPod in.
