This video showcases the French Model 1892 Ordnance Revolver, a solid-frame, double-action service revolver adopted by the French military in 1892. It highlights unique features such as its right-swinging cylinder for easier loading, especially for mounted cavalry, and its simple one-screw disassembly for cleaning. The revolver is chambered for the 8mm French Ordnance cartridge (8x27mmR), which offered comparable power to a .32 ACP. The video notes its historical significance, having been used in WWI and WWII and even by French Gendarmes into the 1960s, positioning it as a state-of-the-art firearm for its era.
