The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Iconic pistols of "the Glock-era"

Thinking about the most iconic pistols of the, lets put it "world wars & cold war"-era, I guess there are some candidates most will agree on:

Luger 08
Colt M1911A1
Walther PPK

maybe also...
FN High Power
Beretta 92 / M9

Now how would this list look like if we'd only consider pistols of the "post-Glock-era", from somewhat the 90ies onward... I reckon the Glock itself would get a secure ticket, but at the moment I couldn't think of other offsprings of these say 30 years that could be called "iconic"...

Suggestions, anyone?
