By 1912...

We had...

the 98 Mauser
the 1892, 1894, and 1886 Winchester
the High-Wall Winchester
the 1890 Winchester pump action 22 rimfire
the hammerless side-by-side shotgun, the 1912 pump action Winchester, and the Browning Auto-5
the 1873 Colt SAA, the modern double-action S&W, and the 1911 Colt...

What can we do now that we couldn't do in 1912 ?
