Interesting that the 1930's designed SLP (browning 9mm) should have been replaced in RAF use by the 1920's Walther, well into the 90's and beyond.

More so that they're probably outgunned by US civil airline pilots today. Those qualifying under the Federal Flight Deck Officer program carry S&W .40 cal pistols and are required to fire a lot more than 25 rounds a year,
