Hey Jim, sometimes officers carried M1 rifles

Yeah!!, Because the M1 carbine round was ineffective especially in winter warfare!!....

OK now I'm confused..................did Officers carry carbines or Garands................or was it pistols........................Oh crap, I'll go back to the top of the post and start all over again

Even ours changed to rifles,(on their own) although the load and org chart stated they were entitled to a pistol. The company carried one per officer, but usually it went out as a secondary for someone.
