Hello don95sml,

Thank you for this correction. I know, that unamerican got some other meaning than non-american. When I've started with this presentation of europeean handguns
in this forum, was the politics between the US and Europe pretty rough. (Iraq-war yes or no). On both side of the atlantic were the people some
kind of extreme. The europeeans didn't buy US-cars (I had to listen to some strange comments with my Oldsmobile, back then), the US renamed the french-fries in freedom-fries etc.

So I choosed back then the title "unamercian handguns" for ironic reasons because I saw tendencies that moves us back to the cold war-times.
