I suppose the data is still good for 5th & 6th edition.
I believe I wrote it up, because the players wanted names/makes for their pistols/handguns, so I did some research.
As said before, this list was done MANY years ago while playing CoC 3rd (which we played in the 30s).

Sixtystone Press has also released a PDF call Investigator Weapons. vol 1 that deal with 1920's era weapons.

Auyl: Thanks.
I checked the book on Drivethrurpg.com ($14.99/£9.92).
A pity they didn't have that book back in the 80s when I was looking up the different types of handguns.
I had to visit the local library, and find the required book (a required library roll I think).
That Investigator Weapons book/PDF looks like a required purchase.
At £9.92, it's not too bad.

Just noticed that the dead tree version is available at Noble Knight Games for those of us in the US.

I love the cover on this book!

I've been accused of looking like one of the protagonists on the cover. Alas not the young woman :-(
