Numbers are important. <snip> Love all of them or they would not be in the safe.
To me the 1911 is just so damn sexy....
Walther P38 maybe. Thats pretty much what all modern 1911 or Beretta style guns are based on isnt it? Hats off to the Germans once again.
Subjective threads like this are fun, aren't they?

What do I think are the game changers...sticking with semi-autos:
Luger
1911
P35
S&W 39
VP 70
G17
And if/when caseless ammo ever takes off, that'll be a game-changer, too.

Glock 1911
As silly as it may seem, I really like the slide profile on that.
Shame it isn't real. That's a very clean looking gun.

I think that a better thread might be "Paradigm-shifting handguns"
Because I think you have to look at each individual handgun almost in a vacuum; that is, nothing that has come after it can be included.
So, what has shifted the paradigms?
