Leaving the 1911 off that list is something akin to a sin.

I believe I indicated Colt and FN pistols, which include the 1911 Colt and 1910 FN.

I agree—the M1911 pistol is considered by many serious firearms experts as the greatest semi-automatic pistol ever developed. The modern Glock and Baretta 92F (M9) pistols owe a lot to the design Browning pioneered with the M1911.

I'll second that, and add that not mentioning the Browning High Power, the most ubiquitous military and law enforcement semi ever produced (outside of China), by name a serious offense as well. I had one of each, the 1911 and the GP35 in 1970. The GP35 'felt better' and was accurate as all get out, made by FN. Just can't say enough good about our "greatest firearms inventor the world has ever known" as FN knows him! Happy Birthday John M. Browning (today).
