This video showcases the Femaru 37M pistol, a historical semi-automatic firearm manufactured by Fémáru, Fegyver- és Gépgyár (FÉG). Keith Ford of Brownells Gun Tech presents this rare U.S. find, highlighting its design by Rudolf Frommer, the last gun he designed before his passing. The 37M served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Hungarian army between 1937 and 1944. The video details its chambering in .380 ACP (9mm Kurz), a unique barrel removal system for field stripping, and its robust construction. Production of approximately 180,000 units, including a .32 ACP variant for the German military during WWII, ceased in 1944. Keith's example is noted as an excellent condition "bring back" from an American G.I.

This video showcases the Frommer Stop pistol from 1912 in slow motion. The description highlights its Hungarian designer, Rudolf Frommer, and its status as the last and best of his long-recoil pistols. It details the pistol's chambering in 7.65mm Frommer (.32 ACP equivalent, loaded hotter) and its advanced, over-engineered design featuring a 3-lug rotating bolt. The video also mentions its adoption by the Austro-Hungarian military and its service in World War I. Comparisons are drawn to other commercially successful long-recoil firearms like the Chauchat LMG and Remington Model 8/81.

This video offers a detailed examination of the mechanics and internal workings of the Frommer 1910 pistol. It highlights the 1910 as the third, and most successful, iteration of Rudolf Frommer's long-recoil locked-breech pistol design, despite its limited production run (under 10,000 units) and early obsolescence by the more popular Frommer Stop in 1912. The description points out key design flaws that hindered its commercial success, including a weak 7.65x13mm cartridge and an overly complex rotating bolt and long recoil action for its intended cartridge. These very characteristics, however, make it an interesting subject for historical firearm analysis today.
