The VIS from Fabryka Broni w Radomiu, is commonly (and incorrectly) called a Radom in the US.
Germans were so impressed with them, that they kept the factory turning them out until the Soviets over ran it.
So, it would be possible to have captured one.
Kaeto got to my other idea, the Webley .455 revolver before I did. That .455 is neat. Not fast to load, though. Also, you really want to use .455 in it, as the "rebored" .45acp "conversions" vary widely in quality.
That being said, you could make a case for the Webley in .38-200--after all, in a 2-gun or 3-gun match, it's hitting the target, not the knock-down.
However, pleae give the 1911 a chance. It's a bit different, and always has been. Not to manual versus automatic transmission--more like diesel versus gas. Or a HET versus a HEMMT.
