I'm surprised nobody jumped on this glaring error by the author:
"From this experience, the then standard army pistol, a .38 caliber (9.65mm) weapon, was replaced by a .45 caliber (11.4mm) one.
Who can tell us what the big boo-boo is in that sentence?

Dang, you're right. I guess everyone ignored the incorrect metric equivalent, and just read right past it.

I noticed the error but wasn't sure exactly how close to 9mm a .357 diameter bullet was. Turns out it is 9.067mm. He may have meant to say 9.065mm and left out a zero.
