This video, "Ask Ian: Single Feed vs Double Feed Pistols," hosted by Forgotten Weapons, explores the design considerations behind single-stack versus double-stack magazines in handguns. Ian discusses why double-stack (or "double feed") pistol magazines are less common, attributing it to increased friction as capacity rises, making magazines less reliable. He also highlights that designing firearms to accommodate two different feed positions is more complex and results in wider firearms, whereas single-feed designs are simpler and can lead to slightly narrower slides. Conversely, double-feed magazines are presented as more reliable and less susceptible to fouling. The explanation touches upon the general tendency for pistols to favor single-feed magazines and rifles to favor double-feed, with exceptions acknowledged.
This video demonstrates an easier technique for loading pistol magazines, addressing the common issue of hand strain and cramps, especially when loading multiple magazines for range sessions.

This video delves into the history and design of the Spanish Mauser Model 1892, highlighting it as a transitional variant in the development of the famed Mauser bolt-action rifle. It details unique features such as its improved single-stack magazine, cartridge-case disassembly, central safety for bolt removal, long rotary extractor, and receiver guide rib. The description explains that while Spain approved the 1892 pattern, it was largely superseded by the improved 1893 model with its flush double-stack magazine, resulting in a limited production run. The video likely showcases the rarity and technical aspects of this specific Mauser variant.
This video delves into the Benelli B76 family of Italian inertial locking autopistols. It details the various models, including the B76, B76 Sport, B77, B80, B80 Sport, B82, and the high-end MP3S. The description highlights the B76's inertially locked design, its commercial failure against the "wondernine" pistols of the era, and its relatively low production numbers. Key features like the single-stack magazine, finicky disassembly, and non-ergonomic safety are mentioned as contributing factors to its lack of success.
This video delves into a rare prototype 9mm Clement Military Pistol from 1914. While Clement is primarily known for his smaller civilian pocket pistols, this military variant retains similar mechanical features but is scaled up for the 9x20mm Browning cartridge. It's a shrouded-hammer, simple blowback design with a single-stack magazine and a notably long barrel, likely intended to accommodate a shoulder stock. The description highlights that only two examples are known to exist today, with an estimated original production run of about 15. Although trialed by the Belgian military, it was not adopted, possibly due to the onset of World War I. The video references a detailed collaborative article for further information.
