I have read a few posts here about what the most 'iconic handguns were.
These threads crossed my mind on a recent trip.
Based on my observations, I would vote for:
Mauser 96 broomhandle
Colt 1911
Colt Python
Colt detective
Browning hi power
Beretta 92
This is based on checking all of the you find for sale in the gift shop and street bazaars in Beijing's Hotungs, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and in Tianjin.
I figure the locally produced toy guns in a society without personal firearm ownership might be indicative of Iconic status.
I saw way more 1911, python and broomhandle toy guns than the others. Never saw a glock toy guns
Just my observations from a trip, based on consumer interests- rather than personal tastes.
