This video explores the Schulhof Model 1887, a manually operated ring-trigger pistol designed by Josef Schulhof in the 1880s. Schulhof was a prominent Austrian designer of early semi-automatic pistol concepts. The 1887 model features a spring-loaded rotating bolt and a 6-round rotary magazine, intended for open-bolt firing similar to a double-action revolver but with the capability of being carried loaded with a manual safety. The video highlights its place in early firearm development, comparing it conceptually to the American Volcanic system and noting its eventual obsolescence with the advent of more practical self-loading pistols in the late 1890s.
