In this TFBTV episode, James Reeves explores the rare Lignose "Einhand" pistol in Austria, focusing on concealed carry options. He highlights the pistol's unique one-handed operation, designed by Louis Schmeisser, where the trigger guard is pulled back to rack the slide. The video details the two main variants, the 2A with a six-round magazine and the 3A with a longer grip and a nine-round magazine. Produced between 1912 and 1928, the pistol is chambered in .25 ACP. James provides his assessment of the 3A model.
This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the unique SIG Chylewski, a vest pocket automatic pistol designed by Witold Chylewski. It highlights the innovative sliding trigger guard mechanism that allows for one-handed cocking, enabling safe carry with an empty chamber. The pistol is chambered in .25 ACP and featured a 7-round magazine. The description notes that SIG manufactured a limited number under license, with Chylewski later adapting the design into the more successful "Einhand" series for Lignose. The video explores its patent history, manufacturing, and its place as SIG's second pistol ever produced.
