Mauser 1912/14 in .45ACP
This video analyzes the Mauser 1912/14 pistol, a pre-World War I attempt by Mauser to create a modern service pistol as a successor to the C96 Broomhandle. While successful in smaller calibers, the larger caliber versions in 9mm and .45 ACP were less successful. The featured example is an intermediate model with an internal delayed blowback system, predating later flap-style delay mechanisms. The description highlights its historical context and design evolution.
