I got m1 thumb once.
Just once. And I can still Field strip and reassemble a 1911 blindfolded. Forced to do it at deer camp on a yearly basis
Your Drill raised a .45 and his other hand acting like a pistol and taught you:
This is a weapon
This is a gun

Cowboys' offense to being No. 1 in the league; and propelled both Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to another level.
Both have been named finalists for top awards in the upcoming NFL Honors show, to be aired on Feb. 8, ahead of Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas.
MVP: Dak Prescott, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, Brock Purdy
Offensive Player of the Year: Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Lamar Jackson, Tyreek Hill, Christian McCaffrey
Not to be forgotten is who deserves recognition on the defensive side of the ball, and there's a name that's being included in the discussion [now] that is more than deserving but that, for much of the season, garnered no recognition for potentially landing DPOY honors.
Defensive Player of the Year: DaRon Bland, Micah Parsons, Max Crosby, Myles Garrett, T.J. Watt

As to a Smith & Wesson 1911 .45 cal...in a gun fight, if it jams (3 ways that can happen) It won't get you killed. Looking down range at a target it only takes a single second to unjam.
Ever dropped a 120 mm tank cannon breach block?

It'll be interesting to see if Bland can overcome the potential edge rusher bias in his category, and if Lamb will edge out his own quarterback for the OPOY nod — Prescott having won Offensive
Rookie of the Year in 2016 — all creating a bit of fun into the voting process for the Associated Press.
If any of the Cowboys' finalists take home some hardware on Feb. 8, it'll be a first for that respective player.
