Designed as a copy of the M1911 chambered in 9mm, the Wz 35 Vis (FB Vis) was to become the standard pistol of the Polish army. When the German invasion came, only about half of the weapons had been produced, they were mainly delivered to officers.
When the Germans took over, they continued production under the name 9 mm Pistole 645(p), which were mainly given to police forces and fallschirmjägers.
After 1941,production was moved to Austria, due to fear of the Polish workers supplying the Polish Home Army;this brought a decrease in quality, as the new guns were produced with a lower standard to fit demand.
They were produced until 1945
