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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
