We are talking about new designed handguns in Europe and why they have not come up with new designed guns in forever. The AK-47 is not a new design and it also isn't a gun for the public. Neither is the SKS. Look at all the newly designed guns from S&W, or Ruger among others. European gun makers haven't come up with anything like that ever. Manurhin manufactured some handguns when Walther ran into some problems, but they weren't a new design or a new gun. And speaking of Walther, look at their new PPK and PPK/S. They are the same gun they put out 50 years ago. Nothing new.
If American Handgunner magazine came out with a new magazine of new design European handguns it would be a really small magazine.
