Vis (Polish designation pistolet wz. 35 Vis, German designation 9 mm Pistole 35(p), sometimes also incorrectly referred to as Radom in English sources) is a 9 mm caliber, single action, semi-automatic pistol. Originally designed by Piotr Wilniewczyc and Jan Skrzypi?ski in 1930. In 1936 it was adopted as the standard handgun of the Polish Army. Considered by many to be one of the finest handguns ever produced, it is highly prized among collectors of firearms.
