Question from the uninformed

Rod,

I'm not a Navy expert, although I wish I had a safe full of them. I believe that the stock was issued with each pistol, holster harness ,etc.

When I was in the Navy, back before there was color, each ship had a designated "Landing/ Boarding Party" to go ashore to rescue downed pilots, or for whatever was required. I was in the landing party on my first ship. We were issued 1911s, M-1 carbines, Thompsons and a BAR. These remained in the armory until required.
