I pulled this off of the net, maybe this is what he means.....
(OPerations SECurity) The U.S. military term for concealing critical information as part of a counterintelligence plan. A form of "security by obscurity," OPSEC determines what information adversaries can obtain or piece together from observation and to provide measures for reducing such vulnerabilities to acceptable levels.

Back in 1992 or there abouts I witnessed a Iowa class battleship (USS Missouri) being towed to its Bremerton WA temp home for demilling or where they took off sensitive parts before its trip to Pearl Harbor Hawaii.
I was working in San Pedro at the time at the ship yard, I ans a crew of about twenty other guys watched it being towed around the point. I remember the time as it was just about the same time that the LA Riots took place.
It was quite a site to see.

Here is her final resting place.

Just a quick reminder of what We all had in our arsenal not too long ago.

Nope, it's a prototype G20 longslide made by Remsport MFG. It's the same length as the 34/35. Lone Wolf Distributors are already selling G21 longslides in 17L/24 and 34/35 lengths made by Remsport and they will soon be selling the same in G20 slides. The barrel is a 6" 9X25 dillon barrel, but I'm working on getting a 5.15" 10mm barrel for it that will fit flush with the slide.
NWanner,
Sounds like a nice set-up and looks beautiful.
I have a 6" Storm Lake "hunting" barrel for my Glock 20, but I keep the standard length Storm Lake barrel in the weapon most of the time. I have found the extra inch and a half is very helpful in ranged shooting (have shot some IDPA targets at 100 yards with it) but generally the longer barrel isn't necessary.
I contacted Caspian a while back about getting a stainless slide for my glock 20 and they told me they had no current plans.
Of all the guns I've seen, my favorate "look" has been a black slide with stainless cuts, over a stainless frame with black grips and a stainless barrel. Makes for beautiful contrast when the stainless is highly polished and the black is a matte or flat finish.
