Not just WW II. The Inglis HP actually didn't get into action in any appreciable numbers until the last year of the war. Most weren't delivered until sometime in 1945.

But the Canadian Forces which adopted the Inglis as their standard sidearm in late 1944 are just now looking to replace it. I've been keeping a casual eye on the debate; the last time there was a flurry of articles was about a year ago, and so far I have read nothing about a decision on the replacement.
