This video delves into the history and design of the Frommer 1901 Pistol, a precursor to the more well-known Frommer Stop. Developed by engineer Rudolf Frommer, this early rotating-bolt pistol was notable for its 10-round internal magazine fed by stripper clips. The video highlights the reasons for its rejection by the US military in 1904, including cumbersome stripper clips and an undesired caliber. The description also mentions its successor models, the 1906 and 1910, and the eventual success of the 1912 'Stop' model.
This video features a run-and-gun steel match utilizing a WWI-era Roth Steyr 1907 pistol. The presenter details the pistol's history with the Austro-Hungarian cavalry, its durability, the 8mm Steyr cartridge, and its innovative "safe-action" firing mechanism, which is compared to modern systems. The unique 10-round stripper clip with a movable follower is also highlighted. Despite a 17th place finish out of 21 competitors, the presenter expresses satisfaction with a 10th place on the first stage, particularly noting how strong and weak hand requirements leveled the playing field.
This video provides a detailed field strip of the Roth-Steyr M1907 pistol, a significant firearm in military history as the first semi-automatic pistol adopted by a major world power. The description highlights its complex striker mechanism, which is compared to modern striker-fired designs. It also notes the pistol's chambering in 8mm Steyr, the approximate production number of 100,000, and its surprisingly long service life. The content aims to explain "what makes it tick" and directs viewers to TFB for more information and Ventura Munitions for support.
