the model I have is a P90 not 40 and its styled like the 1911 but a tad shorter and a good amount thicker. I think the 1911 has become more popular lately with ppl who havent owned guns going out and buying one thanks to the newly elected president.
I think those ppl identify with the 1911's b/c you see them in all the movies and well lets face it the classic 1911 is one of the best looking hand guns ever made at least imo.
John Moses Browning was a freaking genius wasn't he?
Don't forget the Browning Hi-Power...another beautiful, well made gun.
The Winchester 64 lever action...another of Mr. Browning's creations.
Damn, I wish he was still alive designing firearms that worked AND looked good!!!
