On the right side grip cover, the pistol had letters VIS in a triangle, on the left side-FB (for Fabryka Broni-вЂќArms FactoryвЂќ) The handgun was prepared in late 1930, and at the beginning of 1931 the first pistols were ready for testing. Its characteristic feature was a triangular grip shape, wider at the bottom, offering good ergonomics and firm grip. It differs from M1911A1 also in other details. Unlike M1911, the barrel was not cammed by a link, but by a ledge of sorts, which contacts a portion of the barrel and forces it down as it is moved rearward with the slide by the recoil force, similarly as in BrowningвЂ™s FN Hi-Power pistol and Spanish Ruby 0.45 ACP. The design was generally based on American firearms inventor John BrowningвЂ™s Colt M1911A1, operating on the short-recoil principle, with the barrel being cammed down and away from the locking lugs in the slide. Considered by many to be one of the finest handguns ever produced, it is highly prized among collectors of firearms.
