Overview:

PROS:
- Good Knockback
- Reloads Quickly
- Accurate

CONS:
- Small Magazine
- High Ammo Cost

TACTICS:
Accurate and quick to fire, which, combined with a quick reload speed, allows it to bring down zombies quickly and efficiently. However, its short range and small magazine is a problem when facing large groups of zombies. To prevent this, pair its wielder with other survivors so they may provide mutual support.
Recommended gear:
- Ammunition Mods increase its damage.
- Extended Mags extends the time of laying down fire.
- Bandoliers makes reload time almost unnoticeable.
- Glasses allows the wielder to shoot farther, becoming less vulnerable in large crowds. Some variants even increase the already high accuracy.

BACKGROUND:
One of the longest-serving self-loading pistols ever made, it was the standard sidearm of the U.S. military through two World Wars and the Cold War before being replaced by more modern 9mm handguns (such as the M9). However, significant aftermarket support has kept this design relevant, and it is still used by various military and law enforcement units.
A very popular handgun sold throughout North America.
