It was a 9 mm Browning automatic with 14 rounds in a clip

In 1979? This is code for "I am a jagoff who watched Serpico too many times."

Guns are "impulsive" and deadly. That is the problem with modern firearms. People, usually under stress, don't have the time to think what they are doing.

Guess I better get counseling for all my firearms to get that 'impulsive' nature out of them.

Supported by the fact that he never bothered to learn the difference in a "clip" and a "magazine".

I hope the paper that published this gets a few rebuttals to this lackey of the silky pony...

Maybe so, but John Browning patented the Hi-Power in 1922, and FN further developed it and first sold it in 1935. It had a 13 round magazine plus one in the chamber, for a total of 14 rounds.

So yeah, a 13+1 9mm was available in 1979.
