			Mr. 16 gauge, 
 
You got it right from the get go.  Anyone carrying a 7.65 MM pistol is not going into the trenches.  Small caliber pistols have traditionally been a badge of high ranking officers in Europe. Patton was the exception as he carried a .45 Colt SA or a S&W .357 Magnum in WWII.  I like to think Patton wanted to use either on the Krauts.
