On Tactical
I listen to the young’uns on the SWAT team talk about tactical this and tactical that, and I want to puke. Equipment isn’t tactical. Your brains are tactical. Your training is tactical. Your equipment is just equipment.
Good point. Reminds me of Tactical Tommy Goes to the Store.

I have a friend who used to joke that he always wanted to buy a strategic flashlight. It would illuminate entire countries at once.

From dictionary.com
So, I guess the usage is within the definition of the word. Since, a tactical 1911 might be a 1911 characterized by ingenuity, i.e. the ingenuity of the person who created it. Eh? Or maybe not. Thppppt.

I always thought “tactical” meant that they used it to shoot civilians.
