    Austrian Steyr M1911 bring back by Corporal Chester Serafin who served in the Army Air Corps. I wish I had more info on Chester! I always thought they were cool looking guns.

    The Steyr Hahn was an interesting pistol, kind of cosmetically challenged, but they made sure the slide wouldn't fail like an early Colt can at the slide lock. I like the way they look too (and the rotating barrel action) but not everyone does :)
