Is it me or does that emoji look a little more like a Ruger SR9 than a Colt M1911?

I mean... it's not exactly a SR9 either, but it's definitely not a 1911 as the twitterrer implied.

It's also, contra the twitterer, not reverting to the ur-glyph, which, in it's original form at the 6 major mentioned companies, was a revolver.

None of those vendors have previously depicted the pistol emoji as a contemporary handgun.

It copies the reference standard, which you are specifically not supposed to copy.

yeah its a pretty bad job. i never held a gun in real life and they kind of scare me tbh
