This video explores "The Formidable," a pre-WW1 pocket revolver manufactured by Manufrance in St. Etienne, France. The featured example is a later pattern introduced in 1895 and redesigned in 1902, sold until 1916. It's a 5-shot, double-action swing-out cylinder revolver chambered for the 8mm French Ordnance cartridge (also known as 8mm Lebel Revolver). The presenter highlights its heavy double-action trigger pull (around 17 pounds) and a bobbed hammer designed for concealed carry, preventing snagging.
