The year is 1913. You've been offered a job as a security guard for a private company's office in Hong Kong. As compensation for being relocated overseas, the company is willing to purchase any pistol you desire for you to use while on the job. They'll be able to get virtually any handgun available on the market, as long as it isn't obscenely expensive or rare.
What do you get?
Steyr-hahn
Big-bore revolver.
>>31983652
A glock, duh
Probably a British Bull Dog or a similarly small revolver. Anyone who choses a semi-automatic pistol is a fool who wants to die.
>>31983752
This.
>>31983730
>>31983752
this with a stock
>>31983752
>>31983789
>>31983797
The Schnellfeuer didn't exist until 1932.
>>31983652
1911
>>31983752
This, or just a broomhandle Mauser in general. They were extremely popular in China
>>31983802
Well fuck me backwards and call me a rodeo clown
Steyr or Artillery Luger. Maybe Ross revolver or whatever the fuck that Austrian gun was called.
>>31983652
P.08 or 1911. Why this question?
Id use a M1879 Reichsrevolver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOI4557ioaA
>>31983944
Because there were more than two pistols that existed at that time.
>>31983652
FN model 1903
>>31983652
any will do my home is getting burned down by the hun in a years time and I don't fancy trench foot
>>31985894
And how many are still relevant today?
All I know is I would be dumping my money into turning a BB or Mauser into a folding/telescoping stocked pdw while waiting on those maxim silencers. Also a 1903 for practical reasons
>>31983652
Aw why did you have to say pistol only OP

>>31983730
is this the gun that british chap used in the wind and the lion starring sean connery? I always figured the gentlemen in bongland carried smaller calibers
>>31983652
1911 of course
There is only one answer

nice to see you are making treads again Ian
Give a Martini–Henry the obrez treatment.
>>31986426
You leave martini-chan alone mister
>>31983793

>Honk Kong never used to be an island, until one night they started shit in Wan-Chai
Anything other than a stocked pistol / pcc is an incorrect answer
Since Beretta hasn't made a pistol yet, I'll dual wield two Glisentis.
>>31986583
Are you making some reference I don't know?
>>31983652
>not working with Captain Fairbairn at Shanghai Municipal Police
>not buying a handcannon and becoming the Dirty Harry of the east
>"You have to ask yourself chink, did I fire 2 shots or - god damn it he bled out. Jerry get the corpse wagon."
>>31983869
not in 1913.
>>31985894
>>31985932
Either of these. I really want something in 9 Largo someday.
a 1911 and/or a colt new service.
>pic somewhat related: my buddies colt new service and my universal.
>>31986666
Mars automatic!
I tell my principle to buy stocks in defense contractors right fucking now.
1903 Colt hammerless. .32 should be sufficient for the Chinese of a hundred years ago. I imagine they were even smaller then like the rest of the world was before modern food and nutrition
>Implying I'll need a firearm. You just need a walking stick and a strong demeanor chaps. The oriental is controllable as long as you are firm with him.
>Hong Kong
>1913
Any answer other than a 1911 in .45 Asian Child Penetrator is wrong.
>>31983752
W.E. Fairbairn served with the police in China. In "Shooting to Live" He said this was the weapon his men most feared.
>>31987555
this
>>31987657
And yet when Fairbairn armed his men, he did so with Colt 1908s, modified.
>>31987339
>>31985932
These guys are closest.
>>31983652
why am I limited to just one? If im a security guard and being paid privately for it I want a briefcase full of guns
>>31986251
immediately thought of this video when I read the thread
>>31986666
quads have spoken, and also, you drag that giant hunk of a gun out of you're overcoat and make the gooks sweat
I'm a simple man
