The “Obsolete” Glock 26 got me thinking. How far back would you go before you considered an arm not viable?

A model 10 dates to about 1899, right?

And then there's the timeless Browning 1911 design.....made when????
I'm guessing depending on use and conditions, readily available metallic cartridge, reliable/proven design, reasonable purposed-driven accuracy, easy carry/concealability as required, along with required knock-down power.
What mission, what cartridge, what platform?
Obsolete may be in the mind of the beholder, imho.

My plandemic car pistol is a bone stock 1953 Romanian Tokarev. Utterly reliable and can reach out and go through things.
Otherwise, I favor the oh so obsolete G26 Gen3 I’ve shot for years.

Can it handle modern ammunition? If not, it's out.
