It's true, the esternal shape resemble the internal operation, the action of the little one is typically the blow back system, those of the bigger one is tipically the short recoil, and the most importan archetypes of the modern automatic pistols in my mind are the Browning M1906 or if you prefer the Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket, and of course the Colt M1911,
the strange shape of the the first automatic pistol is the mirror of the first attempts to produce automatic pocket weapons without previous precedents, then there was a Darwinian selection towards the perfect form, and of course Mr Browning was a real genius

I'm no history expert by any means, but I do have an appreciation for important antique firearm models. But, no Mauser C96? I may be wrong, but I thought it was standard issue to certain types of units, such as artillery? Was it too unusual/unique to be considered "standard" issue?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It was a standard issue indeed, it was issued to the machine gun gunners and the artillery men, even if the ordnance sidearm was the Luger P08.

The Nambu is the most underrated pistol of all world war era pistol.I see Lot of comment many people think Nambu is the dangerous pistol because people see the TFB TV and judge the Nambu is the worst pistol of all time.In reality Nambu is pretty good pistol.In case of the TFB TV,The Nambu firing pin is damaged already and causes pistol accidental discharge and the jamming problem is caused by the crappy unreliable reproduction 8mm Nambu.If the pistol use the proper ammo the pistol will run smooth.unfortunately most of the repro ammo are low quality and causes pistol cannot operate smoothly.If somebody want to know more about the Nambu Type A, please check out The C&Rsenal video about The Nambu Type A pistol www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnpXWX…

Thank you for the tip
May be that the Nambu wasn't the best of the possible military sidearm, but of course it was tested,
and it overcame the military trials before being adopted by the Japanese Army, certainly it was not dangerous for those who used it, and
generally the pistols do not fire many shots in their operational life.

Japan military used the Nambu Type A since 1903(officer private purchase) /1909(Japan Navy adoption ) and the officer seems happy with the Nambu.But the high cost and time consuming manufacture make the Japan military decided to used Type 14(cheap but low quality version of the Nambu) instead.This is why most of the firing pin broken problem is came from the Type 14 and not the Nambu Type A.The military trials in 1902 and 1908 prove the Nambu is the good pistol for officer but the Japan army decided no adopt the Nambu Type A is because pistol is time consuming to produce,army has no budget and army think the pistol is not necessary for combat But the Japan navy adopt the Nambu Type A since 1909.

Well, in the simplest case the bolt blows back pushed by the explosion and a recoil spring push it back, where it inserts a new ammo in the cartridge chamber.

I've always been a fan of the M1911, the C96, the P08, and the Webley Mk. VI.
The Nagant revolver was a stroke of genius but the end result was poor ballistics. The cylinder would actually be brought forward to the forcing cone to seal the gap. Gases would not escape and the bullet would not lose so much velocity— problem was that the bullet was receded into the casing for a better seal and was extremely slow to begin with.

Nagant's idea was good, but the result was doubtful, the pistols that you have listed were really excellent.

The Nagant revolver is sort of like an air soft or a pellet pistol.

Hey, for $230 one can get a surplus revolver with a 50rd box of cartridges here. Too bad everytime one pops up its taken quickly.

The 1911, best military gun ever. Even if it is heavy. The gremans to some degree had the c96 too.

I agree, it was surely the best military gun of that time.

The webley is also very well depicted!A classic that served the empire for nearly 100 years.

A real sturdy beast!
This was one of the most difficult table, it took lot of time, and when I was composing the imagine from the different files, during a cat and past, and various rename I lost the Luger, I was so pissed off that the new Luger I drew is a little scruffy.

Yes,the shape of the Webley is quite complex.But after all,you still managed to draw it well!

The sleek FN model 1910 is a timeless classic!
When I was a young boy,I had a toy gun modeled after it

Browning was a genius!
Wow great, I used to made pistols with plywood and rubber bands

I agree with you.Many designs of Browning are so perfect that they almost remain unchanged for many years.
Talk about diy toys, My brothers and I used to made bows and arrows,that were quite powerful and lethal toys.We played with them in the ruins and abandoned buildings.

Wow, it sounds great! My parents never played with me.

Yes...Back in the 1990s,many old builidings in our city were abandoned and crumbled into ruins.Armed with machete,bow and arrow,crowbar and hammer,my cousins and me adventured in the ruins,broke into abandoned buildings and looking for whatever we like, that was quite thrilling experience.

Wow, it sounds terrific!

I giapponesi sono strani persino nella fabbricazione di armi. I francesi mi sembrano amanti del lontano ovest.

Le pistole giapponesi sono sempre state pessime, quella francese era robustissima, quasi eterna, in effetti ricorda un poco il Far West.
Eibar nei Paesi Baschi fu uno dei principali centri di produzione mondiale di pistole tra fine '800 e inizio '900, poi l'avvento di Franco mise fine a tutto.

Non sapevo niente su pistole giapponesi, ma la francese sì l'avevo vista e la conoscevo un po. Infatti i baschi sono sempre stati i principali estrattoridi metalli e produttori d'armi in Spagna.

The Italian and Japanese pistols look kind of doofy. Not to mean your artwork is bad in any way, shape or form of course.

I totally agree with you, they look very strange, I kept a Glisenti in my hand, and I confirm that it looks a little weird.

Wow, I just found that you have a collection of WWI weapon artwork, beautiful work, sir!

I love the Colt 1911 too, it's my favourite sidearm, the Webley is quite a cannon, but a very well done weapon.
