FB Vis - Wikipedia
Name for Axis 9 mm Pistole 35(p)
The Vis (Polish: Pistolet wz. 35 Vis; German: 9 mm Pistole 35(p), or simply the “Radom” in some English sources and “Vis wz. 35” in Poland) is a Polish 9×19mm caliber, single-action, semi-automatic pistol.
Production of the Vis began in 1935 at the Fabryka Broni factory in Radom, and was adopted as the standard handgun of the Polish Army the following year. After the Polish Campaign of 1939 that marked the start of World War II, occupying German forces took over the country’s munitions and industry; the pistol was valued by the Germans, who continued its production and eventually issued it to Waffen-SS units.
The Vis is highly prized among collectors of firearms[1] and considered by some to be one of the best firearms of the period, combining some of the features present in the Colt M1911, the Browning Hi-Power, and the Ruby .45 ACP.[2][3][4
Video about it
After the Polish defeat in 1939, the Germans took over the Radom Armoury and continued production of the Vis under the new name of Pistole P 35(p) ,[9] after its first year of manufacture while the suffix ‘p’ is for “Polnisch” (Polish).[11] The German pistols of the first series had inscriptions VIS Mod.35 and P.35(p) on the left side.[10] According to Hogg, about 375,000 pistols were produced for the Heer.[12]
