Types of Handguns 

GWL makes four calibres of super-match pistols:

  • .22: the 22/22 pistol (alias the ‘Ratkiller’) has a magazine with 22 (doublestack) .22GH, .22GS, or .22LR cartridges, available only with a 20 cm barrel; the 22/11 pistols have magazines with 11 (single stack) .22GH, .22GS, or .22LR cartridges, available with 20, 17.5, 15, 12.5, and 10 cm barrels. These are sold in large quantities.

    Notes: the .22GH, made by GWL, uses a faster burning powder which produces the maximum muzzle velocity, 1,500 fps, within a 20 cm barrel; the .22GS, made by GWL, uses a faster burning powder which produces a subsonic muzzle velocity within a 20 cm barrel.

    Note: the second pistol is the B model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2015: it can also fire .22GH Magnum rounds, with a muzzle velocity of 1,800 fps.

    Note: the third pistol is the C model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2019.

  • .357 SIG (alias Hammerhead): the Hammerhead pistol has a magazine with 8 (single stack) or 15 (double stack) .357 SIG cartridges, available with 20, 17.5, 15, 12.5, and 10 cm barrels, or with a magazine with 10 .357 SIG cartridges, available only with a 7 cm barrel; the muzzle velocity with a 20 cm barrel is 1,450 fps. These are sold in large quantities.

    Note: the second pistol is the B model, which was manu­factured starting in Mar 15, 2015: it can also fire Hammerhead Magnum rounds, with a muzzle velocity of 1,750 fps.

    Note: the third pistol is the C model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2019, and which has a better compensator.

  • .45 (alias ‘1911’): the .45 Calibre has a magazine with 7 (singlestack) .45 cartridges, available with 20 and 15 cm barrels. These are sold only to competitive shooters, in small quantities.

    Note: the second pistol is the B model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2015: it has a barrel 1mm thicker, a grip 12mm taller, and is either single-stacked, with 8 rounds in the magazine, or double-stacked, with 15 rounds in the magazine.

    Note: the third pistol is the C model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2019, and which has a better compensator.

    GWL 20cm (8″) 1911 Pistol GWL 20cm (8″) 1911 B Pistol GWL 20cm (8″) 1911 C Pistol

  • .429 Super (equivalent to .44 Super in world T2): the .429 Super pistol has a magazine with 7 .429 magnum or super cartridges, or .44 cartridges, or .44 Special cartridges, available with 20 and 15 cm barrels. These are sold in small quan­tities, mainly to those who may be threatened by large animals.

    Note: the second pistol is the B model, which was manufactured starting in Mar 15, 2019, which has a better compensator and can fire hotter .429 Ultra rounds.

    GWL's 20 cm .429 Super Pistol GWL's 20 cm .429 B Super Pistol

GWL sells 22 GH, 22 GS, 22 GH Magnum, Hammerhead, Hammerhead Magnum, 1911 GH, and .429 Super GH ammunition in 3 forms: semi-wadcutter, jacketed hollow-point, and full-metal-jacket (hardball). All are designed to achieve maximum muzzle velocity in a 20 cm (8″) barrel. The semi-wadcutter and hollow-point ammunition are designed for extreme accuracy, and the full-metal-jacket is designed for use in very dirty guns and is somewhat less accurate. All guns are much less accurate with non-GWL ammunition.

Note: the scale of handgun images is 10 px to 1 cm.

These dress .45 and .429 Super pistols were made in case Sarah needed to dress very fancy and (for some reason) either of these calibres were especially appropriate:
