On June 6, 2011, five individuals were killed instantly in an IRAM (Improvised Rocket-Assisted Mortar) attack. Three more succumbed to their injuries within two weeks of the attack, and fifty-one others were wounded. Tragically, eighteen suicides have occurred since that day. During the attack, four soldiers on overwatch, positioned within 75 yards of an IRAM equipped with twelve separate IRAMs, managed to deliver enough small arms fire to disable one of the IRAMs. This disabled IRAM launched and struck JSS Loyalty but failed to detonate amidst the living quarters. Instead, it detonated eight IRAMs on the launcher, each armed with 300 pounds of C-4 explosive. All four soldiers on overwatch were wounded by the explosion, with the injuries being particularly severe for some. The three IRAMs that penetrated the base caused immediate fatalities for five individuals and wounded fifty-one more in just 35 seconds. JSS Loyalty, covering an area of 0.61 square miles and hosting only 150 personnel, was a close-knit environment where each member knew one another intimately. The oldest of the killed-in-action was only 21 years old. According to the owner of these guns, “This incident marked the end of my combat duty assignment in Southwest Asia, concluding a service of 1,460 days across Iraq and Afghanistan with 22 different military units.”
 
Also, according to the owner, “The 1/17 FA from the 3rd Infantry Division was relieved by the 1/7 FA of the 1st Infantry Division. The 1/7 FA was stationed at the location on the day of a major attack. During the time the 1/17 FA was there, they frequently experienced indirect fire in Sadr City, a place CNN has labeled as the most dangerous in the world. Anyone who served there, or anywhere else in Iraq, will attest to the harsh conditions at Joint Service Station (JSS) Loyalty, where U.S. forces trained Iraqi military and police. There are approximately eight pistols from the 1/7 FA and twelve pistols from the 1/17 FA that were issued during their deployments. These pistols were acquired specifically for duty assignments at JSS Loyalty.”
 
This example sports the serial number (#P233054), and the matching pair in the other auction bears the serial number (#1BN7FA008)!

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Para Ordnance Hi-Cap .45 ACP with "Operation Iraqi Freedom" engraved on the right side of the slide is a distinctive firearm that blends high capacity and historical significance. Para Ordnance, known for their innovative approach to 1911-style pistols, has designed this Hi-Cap model to offer increased magazine capacity without compromising the classic .45 ACP firepower. The high-capacity frame allows for more rounds, making it an excellent choice for tactical applications and extended shooting sessions. The .45 ACP caliber is revered for its stopping power and reliability, ensuring that this pistol performs effectively in various scenarios. The "Operation Iraqi Freedom" marking adds a profound layer of historical and emotional value to this firearm. Operation Iraqi Freedom was a pivotal military campaign that began in 2003, aiming to dismantle the regime of Saddam Hussein and establish a democratic government in Iraq. This inscription serves as a tribute to the soldiers who participated in the operation, honoring their service and sacrifices. The combination of Para Ordnance’s engineering prowess and the commemorative engraving transforms this Hi-Cap .45 ACP into more than just a firearm; it becomes a symbol of courage, commitment, and the enduring legacy of those who served during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Whether owned by a veteran, a collector, or a shooting enthusiast, this pistol stands as a reminder of a significant chapter in modern military history.
