I'd like to know, too... so I can kick them in the ass. It's become had to find a pistol without this feature, and many of us find it useless and ugly.
It is the single most useless modern development in handguns, along with front slide serrations.

I am not knowledgeable enough on the history, and I know people have carried pocket pistol long befor the 20th century, but what (if any) gun would be considered the most influential "pocket pistol" of the 20th century?
But...I like front slide serrations.
By influential I mean their features inspired other designs.............
While it wasn't the first polymer framed pistol and it wasn't the first pistol to use a striker, it did bring these features and others together into a package that hadn't been seen before.
I mentioned it because the failed assassination of Ronald Reagan using an RG14 caused some pretty strict gun control laws and formed the Brady Campaign against gun violence. In its own way the use of this gun directly influenced history near the end of the 20th century.you mentioned the RG your opinion doesnt count...

Agreed. SIG 210. Influential for the Petter modification to the linkless Browning (P-35) lock-up, and also for the slide-inside-frame rail system that we now see in CZ pistols.You would have to put a SIG in there somewhere.
Thats where Gaston got the idea for the chamber area locking surface instead of barrel lugs.
Hi-Power - JMB called it his refinement of the 1911 and designed the worlds first wunder9 in 1935.
re: rail: It is the single most useless modern development in handguns, along with front slide serrations.
Glock definitely belongs. Not just for polymer, but reducing the number of parts...
I didn't say "field-stripping"--I said detail stripping. Have you taken an VP70Z down to pins and springs (removing the extractor, the trigger levers, the driver drag lever, the drop safety, etc.)? Not as simple as the Glock, IMHO.DammitBoy said:Have you ever field-stripped an HKvp70z?
