This video provides an in-depth look at two historically significant early semiautomatic pistols: the Laumann 1891 and the Schonberger-Laumann 1894. The presenter details Josef Laumann's pioneering work in adapting ring-trigger designs to a blowback semiautomatic system, nearly achieving the first self-loading pistol. The video showcases examples of both the 1891 model and the two distinct patterns of the 1894 model, developed with financial backing from the Schonberger brothers. While these designs didn't see mass production, they represent crucial steps in the evolution of handgun technology.
