How come European handgun designs are historically

So goofy? Really, looking at revolvers. Sure they pioneered semi-autos, but I can’t think of any revolver designs worth much in comparison to American designs.

The Webley was likely best in my opinion. But it has some of its guts on the outside! Too bad they didn’t have a Sam Colt, the Wesson boys, or John Browning.
