This video explores the history and significance of the M1917 Revolver, highlighting its role as a crucial sidearm for the US military during a period of handgun shortages, particularly when compared to the iconic 1911 pistol. Produced by both Colt and Smith & Wesson at the government's request, these revolvers served in various capacities well into the Vietnam era. The video emphasizes that despite the prevalence of the 1911, the Army continued to procure revolvers, suggesting a significant but often overlooked chapter in American military firearm history.
