The P-35 is a very fine weapon and the supreme accomplishment of Mr. Browning's career, even though the design was completed by another I compliment you on your choice. Double stack magazine in auto pistol, GOOD. Double action auto pistol, POO. Yes lurking trolls, I do know that auto pistols are really semi-automatic.
Calling semiautomatic pistols "automatics" is perfectly valid. That's what the were originally called. (.45acp from Colt Automatic Pistol for example.) I have a 1915 dictionary that gives it as a definition for "automatic" So your use of the term is fine.👍 I only go all gun geek over the "clip vs. magazine" argument. 😀
