“I don’t know what make of gun this POS used,”

The article says it was an FN 9mm. I wouldn’t bet my life on one, though I don’t know the brand very well. Admittedly, I’m a revolver fan.

Fabrique Nationale d’Herstal makes some of the very finest firearms in the world including many for the US military, such as the SCAR.

The Browning HiPower 9mm pistol, the model 35, was the last gun John M. Browning designed and was the only firearm used by all countries, axis and allied, in WWII. Browning claimed he fixed all the problems in the 1911 with the HiPower, the first high capacity “Wonder 9”.

The HiPower was the weapon of choice for the British SAS for many years and is one of the finest pistol designs ever conceived and is the basis for many recent pistol designs.

However, I am sure your life is too precious (”I wouldn’t bet my life on one”) to be protected by a pistol used by millions, literally, of professionals.
