Glad you mentioned something about the psychological role played by pistols, especially their ability to intimidate. I remember reading during by uni studies something about Iraqis in the 2003+ occupation responding differently to those armed with pistols than with rifles. Pistols were seen as indicative of authority and power, as they were generally carried by Ba'athist officials prior to the war. I remember reading something about US troops armed with assault rifles having difficulty controlling Iraqi civilians, while the same person waving a pistol around would quickly gain control. Sorry I can't be more precise, my studies ended 10 years ago.

If your rifle goes tits up, while people are shooting at you, its definitely reassuring to sling it and transition to a pistol. At least until you can get the rifle back in the fight. Me, personally, I'd much rather have a bangy thing than a pokey thing. Even if it's a small bangy thing as opposed to a big bangy thing. Although a big bangy thing with a pokey thing is possibly better than a small bangy thing. Either way, I want a bangy thing. Preferably, a spinny bangy thing. Barring that, a bangy-bangy thing.

In Viet Nam, Machine gunners (M-60) and those that carried the grenade launcher (M-79) were to have a 1911, but we couldn't get any because all of the officers and high ranking non-coms in the rear areas had them. I carried a Chinese M-20 (copy of the TT-33) that I got when we went into Cambodia. Many copter pilots brought their own sidearms. Most that I met carried a Colt Python. They were chambered for .357 Mag but .38 Special were more available.

I seem to recall that the 1911 was one of the early sidearms where standardization in manufacturing was paramount. One way to test this was to take 1911s manufactured in different factories by different companies, disassemble them, throw all the parts into a pot, mix them up, and then assemble the guns back up to see if they still worked (and they did). In comparison the P08 had tons of hand fitting to the point various parts had to be serialized to each pistol to avoid mixing them and causing issues.

Many soldiers in WW2 used their own weapons either smuggled in or (more often) mailed to them by family after they were sent abroad. These weapons varied in quality but since low-rank enlisted men weren't armed with pistols en-masse this seemed to be a way to get around the short coming in supply for secondary weaponry.

The 1911A1’s during WW2 were made by Remington Rand, not Remington arms. Remington Rand was a typewriter company that made the pistol under contract since Colt could make the pistol fast enough. The contract was originally given to Singer sewing machines but they could not produce the pistol fast enough to meet demand and the contract was given to Remington Rand. Remington Rand produced 958,000 1911’s during the war. Singer produced 500. If you find or have one it’s worth around $50,000. Union Switch and Signal ( which made railroad signals) and Ithaca gun company also held contracts. I own a 1943 Remington Rand and shoot it fairly often. Fantastic pistol save for the tiny GI sights.

I feel like you completely missed the Browning/Inglis Hi-Power. As Belgium was being overrun the plans for the Hi-Power were smuggled out, first to Britain than to Canada. Produced by Inglis, originally an appliance company in Canada, the Hi-Power was used by various units of the Canadian and British armies. The single biggest order for Hi-Power’s from Inglis was actually from Nationalist China, and was replete with a number of unique features, such as adjustable sights and slots for detachable stocks. Some of these would never reach China and would instead be folded into Commonwealth inventories.

I liked your opening comments about the real battlefield use of the pistol. There is a quote about a study done after a major battle. It stated that only 11 people were injured by pistols during the battle and ten of those were on our own side! As you stated, most military training on pistols was pretty sketchy up until the Global War On Terror. About the time of GWOT there was much better training on pistols in many organizations. In regards to Hollywood, the pistol used by Sean Connery in A Bridge Too Far was (I believe) a Browning Hi Power (FN GP), used by certain British units (as well as the Germans). Trivia: for Sgt York, Garry Cooper used a Luger in York's climactic fight as Hollywood couldn't get the M1911 to fire blanks on semi-auto. York actually used an M1911. The pistol was a confidence builder. Read James Jones' novel "The Pistol" - the main character is CERTAIN that the Japanese will kill him in battle unless he keeps his borrowed pistol.

My contribution to the Vietnam war was being a sentry in California for 15 months. I was equipped with a 1911A1 when I stood Gate Guard and Roving Patrol (truck). I qualified with it and shot Expert. The Basic Idea behind the .45 is that it is a Personal Defense Weapon to be used by people whose real weapon is something else. For an Officer - his real weapon is his unit. For Vehicle crewman it is their vehicle. As a Personal Defense Weapon - not to be used unless needed - it would not be used so much offensively - unless the person carrying it was being attacked as the unit moved forward. Here - the Pistol was only used to protect the person who was there for some other reason. You simply would not have anyone there who was there for the purpose of firing a pistol. The logic behind the .45 is that it has the stopping power to knock someone down. If you can knock them down - then you can shoot them again but most importantly - if you knock them on their ass - it's less likely that they will be able to successfully engage you. The Weapon can hold 8 rounds if one is in the chamber. Here the weapon is carried on Half Cock - which locks the Hammer away from the firing pin. Or it can be used without a round chambered but having a slower reaction time to a threat. The .45 was designed in response to Moro Guerrillas on drugs attacking our forces that had occupied the Philippines when the Spanish left. These people had some crude natural armor they'd wrap around themselves which would stop the .38 rounds for the pistols we were using at the time. The .45's would knock the guy down. The .38's were revolvers with six rounds - so the extra round in the .45 was a plus. Here, though when compared to pistols holding 9mm Ammo - and thus having more rounds - the idea was that the person you were engaging was going to be so close you could not miss and if you did - you would probably be dead before you could fire more than 7 rounds anyway. If the guy is farther away - so that you could miss him - then you should be using something else to engage him - like a Carbine - or - someone else in your unit with a much better offensive weapon than a pistol. This didn't mean you couldn't kill someone at a distance with the weapon - it just meant that you would need to be a good enough shot to hit them. For most people, (such as downed pilots) who were not all that good with a pistol - surrender could well be their best option since losing the aircraft they could kill people with or at least get home on. .

The 7.62 Tokarev is certainly a round far more capable in terms of range than the 1911's .45 ACP. 45 ACP from ww2 weighs 230 grains and is traveling subsonic (which makes it extra quiet when supressed as there is no supersonic crack) at around 250-260 m/s. 7.62 x 25mm Tokarev is traveling at a whopping (and very supersonic) 440 m/s, although this varies widely as the distribution of this cartridge by nation is extensive. However, the bullet weight is only 85 or 90 grains. The .45 delivers a bit more energy to target as a result of its massive weight, but when it comes to long range the 7.62x25mm is more or less the flattest shooting pistol cartridge of the war (discounting .30 carbine). If anything the .45 and 7.62 represent completely opposite lines of thinking, with 9mm Luger (parabellum) somewhere in between. This cartridge is part of the reason why the soviets were able to equip entire units with ONLY submachine guns, because the 7.62x25 can reach so far for a pistol cartridge. on another note, the 1911 in .455 webley automatic was a ww1 contract, not ww2 and it was very limited.

Not sure who told you that Soviet submachine guns are any less accurate than any other nations WW2 SMGs, because that's clearly false. ALL submachine guns of this time period are open bolt. None of them are "accurate". The flat shooting nature of the cartridge will give better hit probability (not mechanical accuracy) because it has higher velocity, which decreases time to target, and has greater effective range.

The cartridge.. 303 is a full power rifle round. Comparatively, 7.62 tokarev vs 9mm and especially versus .45 ACP has distinct range advantages as a result of its velocity and air resistance coefficient. What im trying to say is that with open bolt firearms, the mechanical accuracy doesn't really matter. (So long as it properly stabilizes the bullet of course) I feel like I've said this already, but the cartridge IS the range. Discussing if an open bolt SMG can reach past 100 yards is a silly conversation when that question is answered entirely by the cartridge it fires and whether you can controllably put rounds in that direction. A ww2 era submachine gun is not supposed to be used for single shot accuracy at such a range (closer in, you can of course do it, but thats not part of the point of this). It's about if 5 guys with PPS-43s can gain a similar hit probability at 100m or more than say 5 guys with 3 M1 Garands, 1 Thompson, and 1 M1 Carbine. Of course the PPS will have less accuracy than an Garand or even the Carbine, but will it be sufficient enough in range that the high volume of fire can make up for the rest. For the Soviets, especially when fighting in the cities, towns, and wooded areas, that answer was yes.

My number 1 rule for new shooters, is "keep your fucking booger hook off the bang switch." Even if you screw up all the other safety rules, you should be ok. Typically, you have; Condition 1: chamber loaded, magazine in place, loaded, safety engaged, hammer cocked. This is how I carry my 1911a1 every day. Condition 2: chamber loaded, magazine in place, hammer down, safety engaged. This is a problem, because a lot of modern pistols have firing pin safeties, and if you pull the trigger to lower the hammer, instead of using the decocker, you disable the firing pin safety. I know of at least one police officer, leaving court, with his holstered Sig P-220, balanced on top of a file box. Who dropped it. Launched a .45 caliber 230gr. hollow point through his head, when it fell on the hammer with the firing pin safety disabled, after he thumbed down the hammer. Condition 3: Empty chamber, loaded magazine, safety on, hammer cocked or uncocked, Condition 4:Probably your best bet for people who don't know what they're doing. Empty chamber, either no magazine or empty magazine in the gun, hammer down, safety on.

It's a pity you didn't cover the Nagant M1895 in more detail.

Moreover, it's a very interesting gun with the gas-seal system and funny looking ammo - one of the few revolvers that could meaningfully use a silencer.

My uncle was a tank commander who was deployed in Australia to repel invasion and then Okinawa for mop up. I asked him about his side arm and he told me he called it his "baby's rattle" because of how the gun shook like a rattle when he moved it. he said it was so poorly made he was amazed it didn't blow up in his hand when he used it on the range. he also said the only time he ever fired it was to qualify, and from then on he only considered it as his "prevention from being captured." In other words, he planned to shoot himself as a last resort with his M1911A1 instead of being captured by the japanese. He said he never was in fear of being captured though, so it wasn't something he thought much about. He did carry it on him though while in his tank. He also told me an interesting thing about how he was taught to shoot. he was in danger of not being able to qualify at all with the 1911 because he couldn't even hit the target, and an old timer taught him how to sight down his pointer finger and pull the trigger with his middle finger. This was called "point shooting" back then, which has a different meaning now. the wikipedia article on Point Shooting has a bunch of historical information about the method, but in short it worked! my uncle shot drastically better using the point shooting method, and he qualified. I miss my uncle, and i love any chance to tell his war stories. he was a real life "most interesting man in the world". even his notes he left behind in his workshop are so interesting! he was developing a new method for vacuum forming plastic when he died of old age (he was experimenting with new plastic blends).

According to my dad who served during Vietnam (he was never deployed though), and other sources, sidearms were, and still are issued only to officers and NCOs (Non-Comissioned Officer) for use on their own men in the rare event that they needed to either defend themselves from or execute insubordinate soldiers under their command. Atleast I'm told that this is the case in the U.S. military. Issued sidearms originally were never intended for use as a back-up weapon, as soldiers should always have enough ammo for their primary weapon when going into action. One source literally told me that soldiers are normally issued enough ammo for their primary weapon for whatever type of mission they are going on, and implied that there should be no reason for them to run out of ammo during a mission.

Leaving aside the myth of the 45's "stopping power" ... .the 45 auto was too much of an "Experts" weapon for folks who would never get the training or range time to become proficient with it. I own a number of 9mm pistols (including a few 1911's) AND a 1911 in 45... and when giving new shooters an introductory go, they invariably shoot FAR better right off the bat with the 9mms (whether CZ or Steyr or 1911) than with the 45.. A hit with a 115gr pill at 1100 fps (126 PF - British WW2 9mm load) or more so the modern M17 ammo (124gr at 1165 for 144 PF) is not going to be shrugged off by anyone. The 195 PF 45 ammo (230gr at 850) may well be effective..but it is MUCH harder to shoot well - without significant practice.. then of course one only HAD 7 rounds in the 45...
