I do not wish to take anything away from the guns listed in this article. They are all fine guns, but I will take exception to two of the author's statements.
The 94 Winchester was not the ultimate refinement of the design. The Savage 99 and the current production Browning BLR are both superior to the 94 Winchester in almost all respects.
It is not more then likely that someone that served in the US military, even in the US Army, ever carried a Model 1911 Colt, or even a handgun. Handguns were reserved for officers and some support personnel. The vast majority of soldiers carried rifles and never even touched a handgun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
