H&R Self Loading. Caliber .32 ACP. But generally a 1911.

1911.  I like the smaller form factor of the PP, but blowback is dumb when the recoil from the 1911 isn't really any more stout.  Might as well get 8 rounds of .45 and wear a bigger jacket.

Something "worked over" by the Texas gunsmith that built weapons for Dillinger& others. Think he was in Dallas.

The .455 MKIII load was a beast of a manstopper.



Developed for their troubles in the colonies with the locals. The Brits stopped issuing it as combat ammo due to the Hague Convention and the fear of Germany making a stink out of it.

Carried a WW2 era 1911 to Iraq in '91 and it served me fine. That works for me.

Yeah, I like my C96, but it's one of the last guns I own I'd pick for this. Big, bulky, ridiculous 1000m tangent sight, surprisingly snappy in 7.63.

It became the Model 27 in 1956.

S&W stopped the "Registered" part in 1939. For the period in between, it was just known as "The S&W .357 Magnum"

If CC, 1911 in a shoulder holster or OWB under a jacket, as most men wore jackets or sportcoats in 1945.  Otherwise a snubby revolver bellygun.

I realize it's not a triple lock but I carry a mountain gun often. Not in a npe but it conceals well enough when I'm not at work.

1911 since it’s what I carry now.  As a back up piece or if concealment was an issue then a Colt 1908 or Detective Special.
