Presumably an attempt to reduce the cost to manufacture the iconic handgun.

This one is also on display at the Springfield National Armory Historical Site.

    Believe that zero Liberators were ever airdropped as originally intended. Not because it was too difficult but because it was a waste of a bomber mission.

    I’m not arguing with you, just thinking out loud why and how this handgun idea ever materialized into more than a paper suggestion.

      Yeah, it was definitely a ‘good on paper’ type idea. The only other possible explanation I can think of is export sales to poorer countries.
