This "I Have This Old Gun" segment from American Rifleman Television explores the M1907 Roth-Steyr, an early semi-automatic pistol notable for its adoption by the Austro-Hungarian cavalry. The video details its historical context in the late 19th and early 20th century handgun development, its unique internal box magazine loaded via a clip with a sliding plunger, and its somewhat cumbersome unloading process. The design's innovative features, intended for the rigors of cavalry use, are highlighted, contrasting it with later iconic pistols like the Colt 1911. The pistol's service history, including its use by Italy, Yugoslavia, and Poland after World War I, is also discussed.
