Why would you purchase a pistol that the design has not changed in 105 years? (And neither have the malfunctions)
If you're in dire need of a real pistol I've got a couple I'd be happy to lend you, they are "state of the art".
Tell me doc, do you still employ 105 year old medicine?

I do have a number of excellent "modern" firearms...to include the P2000 that I have carried near daily for the past 10-12 years. Never fails to fire, highly accurate.
I've also got various Sigs, HKs, Springfield XD's, and M&Ps, but sometimes you run across that pistol you wanted 10 years ago and happened to find it at nearly 1/2 price and you just gotta give it a run...
Well-I gave it a run and the damned thing doesn't work.
$500 mistake for certain- it was between this one and a new Sig in 40 that I was looking at for the same price.
More directly to your question...

To stop bleeding as far back as the Greeks...so in some instances, a little nostalgia can indeed be a useful thing��
