Re: Top Handgun of the early WWI era?
A Steyr M.12 would be an outsider candidate. It was on commercial sale in 1911, before it was adopted by the Austro-Hungarian empire, and over a million were made by the end of production in 1919. It's in Pulp Guns I.

And while the 9mmP and the .45 are the best known rounds of the era, the Belgian Nagant was widespread export revolver, including to both Tsarist and Soviet Russia... in 3 different chamberings... 9.4mm (Belgium, Holland), 7.5mm (Luxembourg, Sweeden, Norway, Tsarist Russia), 7.62mm (Soviet licensed). Spain copied it, too. In all of those, as a military sidearm. |
