Do we know when the Radom Model 35 pistols with E prefix serial numbers (with WaA77) were manufactured? The early E prefix pistols seem to be mixed into those with shoulder stock cuts while later ones without cuts still have slide legends without the added P.35(p) markings. Its serial number of '00000' would typically signify a “zero-series”, early prototype. The slide has the new single line markings 'F.B.RADOM VIS Mod.

In the 1920s Poland began looking for a new standard military pistol, and tested a variety of compact.380s. The representative from FN brought along an early iteration of the High Power (along with their other entry) even though it was much too large and heavy to meet the Polish requirements.

After a couple iterations of testing, it became clear to the Polish Ordnance officers that the High Power was a much more effective service pistol than the compact guns they had been instructed to look for. Lo and behold, the ultimate choice was a domestic design based largely on the High Power (a direct deal with FN was not an option after Poland’s relationship with FN had suffered through problems with the wz.28 version of the BAR). Toss in a delay to redesign the early decocking mechanism to satisfy the Cavalry (who didn’t realize that the decocker wasn’t actually meant to be used, but rather to just add another claim to the patent), and by 1935 the pistol was finished and formally adopted.

The Vis 35 is one of the best automatic pistols of WWII in terms of both handling and quality. In total 46,000 were made pre-war for Poland’s military, and German occupation forces built another 300,000+ during the war.

Today I am looking at two; a and a. Sadly I don’t have Polish Army requirements for automatic pistol from 1927, but I know that improved FN, 13-shot pistol full-filled requirements, that one which don’t comply with requirement was no FN High Power as known today, but earlier version – that one version build to go around Browning’s patent, which FN sold to Colt with M1911 pistol (when these patent expired, FN designer Saive can use some solution which allow lighter mass). French Army also early High Power as Pistolet a Grande Rendement (GR) and also reject it due to mass.

According to Ezell in Handguns of the World, Ordnance wanted a 7.65mm pistol for officers, who would mainly carry it as a symbol of rank. They also wore Sam Browne belts to support the pistol holster, thereby making themselves a bit obvious to enemy snipers, a common fault of officers’ uniforms all over back then. (Hence the term “Shoot Me Strap”.) The cavalry, by comparison, wanted a powerful handgun because they weren’t able to handle a rifle effectively on horseback. No, seriously. They were trained to charge on horseback, then after the line was broken, dismount, draw carbines from saddle scabbards, and fight on foot as skirmishers. In other words, dragoons. But they needed a pistol with serious killing power for that first charge.

Not to mention being able to kill a horse -including their own- if needed. And the more rounds it held, the better. Ordnance really liked the Browning M1910 in 7.65mm.
