my problems with the Browning 1910's/1922s are the tiny safeties & sights... ditto that with the pocket Colts autos of the same era... but they are all well made & dependable... the mag releases could be better too.

That said, I've carried & used and still use 1911's, Walther PPK/PP, Browning High Powers , S&W revolvers & Colt revolvers whose designs were all first done in the late 1800s & early 1900s, some were tweaked later... all are still the same basic brilliant designs.

As Muss said above.. I wouldn't chose either of those 2 pistols of the original post for a primary carry piece...but either would beat using a rock or a foot long sharp stick as a concealed carry piece.
