Caliber: 9 x 19 mm

Capacity: 14 + 1 in chamber

Let me start off by saying that this handgun series is FAMOUS. PERIOD. Ever since the M1911A1's (Colt Government Model) adoption by the US armed forces it has been the stuff of legends and lore.
For over 70 years the M1911A1 has faithfully served the US military and even though it has been replaced by the Beretta M92 as the official service pistol, it remains popular throughout the world's military and security forces and especially in the US.
It is chambered for the .45 ACP the same as Faye's Glock 30 for which it is renowned as a powerful and reliable man stopper. As can be seen even in the year 2071 John Moses Browning's rugged and reliable pistol continues to be used and trusted (even if its used by the mafia).

The GP35 Hi Power was designed by John Browning shortly before his death in 1926 was subsequently perfected by FN carries on with the tradition of Browning ruggedness and reliability. Both Colt and FN Browning types come in many different configurations depending on customer requirements.
Like the M1911A1 the Hi Power continues to be a mainstay of military and security forces around the world despite the introduction of new fangled polymer constructed pistols. It chambers the 9 mm standard Parabellum cartridge. The FN/Browning Hi Power has the unique distinction of being officially issued by both Allied and Axis forces during WW2.

Colt Government pistol's were used by both Vicious and Julia (Vicious pointed it at Julia is the flashback scenes; Julia used one throughout session 26 Real Folk Blues Part 2).
The Browning Hi Power seems to be a favored weapon in 2071 judging from the many scenes where they can be seen in use. Among them, Roco sister session 8, Jet's ex session 10 (above), Vicious' men session 5, 25 & 26 and Spike is session 25 (he's in the midst of cleaning it before the dogfight) & 26 (the final fight).
