The Smith and Wesson Model 547 is a six-shot K-frame revolver chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. It was designed in the 1970s specifically for European police forces who wanted a 9mm revolver for logistical simplicity. The Model 547 features a unique extractor system that reliably ejects rimless 9mm cartridges. It uses three spring-loaded extractor claws rather than a traditional star extractor to grip the cartridge rims. This revolver was also adopted by the United States Naval Investigative Service. Production was limited, making the 547 a sought-after collector's item.

The Colt M1911A1 is the improved military variant of John Browning's legendary M1911, serving as the standard-issue sidearm of the United States Armed Forces from 1924 to 1985. Chambered in .45 ACP, this single-action, semi-automatic pistol features a shorter trigger, arched mainspring housing, and an extended grip safety tang compared to the original M1911. It is widely considered the most successful and influential semi-automatic pistol design in history, setting the standard for reliability, stopping power, and ergonomics. The M1911A1 has been manufactured by Colt, Remington Rand, Ithaca, Union Switch and Signal, and Singer during wartime production.
