Snapped a quick picture of my entire handgun collection today - sorry for the poor quality, hard to get natural light in my house. Anyone care to try their hand at IDing all of them?

That's a lot of handguns. How do you afford all of these?

Well, the army pays pretty well and I've been at it for about 7 years now. Didn't exactly buy them all at once.
Correct, except B (no such thing as a Steyr 1910), J (it is of course a Luger, but its not a P08), K, and S. O isn't technically a Victory (actually a British No.2 Mk.I or Pre-Victory), but many collectors will call it that so I'll take it. M is of course a Hi Power, bonus if you know who made it.

B looks like a Steyr 1912. And is the Hi-Power made by Inglis? You're in Canada so I figure that's most logical.

B is actually a Steyr 1911, but you can't tell the difference except up close so I'll take it. The Hi Power is indeed an Inglis - you can tell by the humped rear sight, made in 1944. The one I'm issued at work is exactly like it, and just as old.

Anyone care to take a crack at the remainders or should I post the answers?

Ok, since no one said anything here's your answers.
F: CZ-38
J: Finnish Luger M/23 - you call tell from that barrel, too long to be a P'08 but too short to be a Navy, and it doesn't have the two-position sight.
K: Webley & Scott Model 1910 .38ACP
S: Smith & Wesson Mk.II Hand Ejector (.455)
T: Garate .455 British service revovlr (officially Pistol, Revolver, Garate, Old Pattern, No.1 Mk.I)
Any interest in another go around?

Shouldn't be too hard to ID.

Colt 1902, right?

1903 Pocket Hammer, actually. Basically the same gun as the 1902 Sporting, but the barrel is a much more reasonable 4 1/2" instead of 6". They call it the Pocket model, but it's the same length as a Hi Power.

I was wondering why it looked shorter than normal. Nice piece.
