This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the history and specifics of the Russian FN 1905 Vest Pocket Officer's Pistol. It explains that these pistols were purchased by the Imperial Nicholas Military Academy in Russia for resale to officer candidates and graduates, primarily FN 1900 and FN 1905 models. These Russian-issue pistols are identifiable by a marking of crossed Mosin Nagant rifles and an inventory number. The video notes that most were nickeled and purchased around 1908-1909, and this particular example is an early model without a thumb safety. The pistol was loaned for the video by Legacy Collectibles.
This TFBTV episode provides a first look at two new Arex Rex Zero 1 pistols. The highlight is the "Alpha" model, designed as an out-of-the-box competition pistol with a 5-inch barrel, weight-reducing slide cuts, an all-steel frame, aggressive grips, and an extended beavertail. It's a prototype expected to be formally unveiled at SHOT Show. Also featured is a stunning nickel-plated Rex Zero 1 in standard and compact sizes, fully plated inside and out, offering a premium aesthetic to the functionally identical aluminum-framed pistols. The video also thanks sponsors Ventura Munitions and Savage Arms, and promotes TFBTV's Patreon.
