In Remarque's sequel to "All Quiet on the Western Front", a book called "Three Comrades", I found it interesting that the handgun mentioned in it was the Reich's revolver.

One of their former company members, a LT. who had rissen from the ranks IIRC, found out his wife was seeing another man. The LT. finally found the man in a beerhall. As the LT. drew his revolver, the man attempted to shield himself with a chair. According to the story, there was no one in the company better with the issue revolver than the LT who placed his shot 1" higher than the chair and in the center of the man's forehead.
