"P" for "Pistol" ????

 

[Euclidean]

I always thought it was because the pistol was originally meant to appeal to the "Police" market, and there's not really a reason to change the name for the civilian market (note that, Beretta).

All the military guns have an "M" designation... it would make sense to me at least.

For instance the Ruger P85... Ruger Police Model 85? Sig P220... Sig Police Model 220? Just speculation on my part.

'cause if you get shot, you'll 'P' yourself!!!:biggrin2:

Should it be an S1911 then?

With The Luger P~08 that "P" stands for Parabellum...I always thought it stood for Pitiful as in Pitiful Pistol. :biggrin2:

I'm "P"ing my shorts........just laughing at the good posts and humor regarding the Peeee series of handguns and their references LMAO

At least in Kahr's case I think it stands for 'polymer'.

"S" 1911 takes the cake! Nice one!

But does he have a rig for strong foot draw? Gotta utilize those opposable toes, ya' know!

Because it is better to call one a "P-somethingorother", than a G-anything!

The German guns, anyway, are P like ours are M.

The P-1 being the Walther P-38 updated, the P5 being the Sig 225, etc.
