Im going to throw in the Desert Eagle gas operated pistol.
The gist of the article is to highlight guns that affected the development of handguns. In other words, which guns influenced the future of gun design. In that sense, many of the choices made good sense. But, the Walther and High Power are just restatements of the 1911. I don't get why they are on the list.
That I could be wrong is an eventuality that has not escaped me. I just painted the pictures as I saw them. I do not know how to do anything else. (Saint Elmer, 1955)
How could you leave out the Luger? It gave us the removable magazine. I know it was actually in the Borchardt first, but didn't that gun become the Luger after old George modified the design a bit? Besides, I haven;t accepted aluminum in guns yet. I won't live long enough to buy one made of plastic.
