Are there any pistols designed with in the last few years(lets say around 25) that will someday be considered classics, like the 1911.

None of those pistols were invented or adopted less than 25 years ago.Beretta Model 92FS
Ceska Zbrojoka CZ-75B
Glock Model 17
H&K P-7M8
Sig-Sauer P-220
I must disagree. While it's nothing new, but is a great execution of existing technology, the 642 is by far S&W's best selling handgun. The supply of them has been outstripped by demand for quite a while now.Revolvers have been in decline for years with nothing on the horizon that might revive the market.

The Beretta was built in 1972.
The CZ in 1975.
The Glock in 1980.
The H&K in 1971.
The Sig in 1975.
I'm gonna say that 27 years is "around 25" years. I think we can infer that the use of "around" means give or take a couple or three years. I'd also add the Beretta 92, simply because it wasn't adopted by the US Military until the early 80s which undoubtedly made many more Americans aware of it - again around 25 years ago.designed with in the last few years(lets say around 25)
I nominate the Glock 22/23! The first ever .40S&W caliber pistols, and direct descendants of the disqualified Glock 17.
Nope...Glock actually beat S&W to the marketThe .40 S&W was released January 17, 1990 with the new Smith & Wesson Model 4006. I know the Glock 22 also showed up in 1990, but I doubt it was before the 4006. I mean, Glock no longer recognizes the .40 cartridge as .40 S&W anyway
