Despite being a 1911 fanatic, and loving John Moses Browning’s designs, somehow I was taken aback by how modern this looks. Maybe I expected a revolver?
Next time someone says a .380 is underpowered, “Well it was enough to start WWI pal!”
Joking aside, this pic seems like an anachronism, even though I know for a fact it’s not.

Had to look it up, it’s a FN Browning 1910

In contrast I think it looks old. The Browning Hi-power and 1911 look pretty modern though.
