Aaah, the .45 and the M1911, fantastic examples of gun design.

Good stoppers, solid, reliable, you can see the ancestry coming down into the design that's stood the test of time.

Well over a hundred years old and still going strong, you can't say that for many weapon designs.

We used the Webley for a while, good weapon but we phased it out in favour of the Browning IIRC.

Of course, then there's the Lee Enfield, original MLE design in 1895, SMLE design in 1907, and still being used in various hotspots in the world today.

Admittedly though, the Russkies have us beat with the Mosin-Nagant, soldiering on from 1891 to the present day.
