Vis (Polish designation
pistolet wz. 35 Vis, German designation
9 mm Pistole 35(p), often incorrectly referred to as the
Radom in English sources) is a
9×19mm caliber,
single-action,
semi-automatic pistol. Inspired by American
firearms inventor
John Browning's 9mm "Browning GP" pistol design which was completed after Browning's death by designers at Fabrique Nationale in Herstal Belgium, this Polish gun began production at the
Fabryka Broni (Arms Factory) in
Radom in 1935, and was adopted as the standard handgun of the
Polish Army the following year. Considered by many to be one of the finest handguns ever produced, it is highly prized among collectors of firearms.
