This video features the rare Schwarzlose 1908 blow-forward pistol being tested in a practical environment at the Backup Gun Match. The presenter discusses its historical significance as the only commercially sold blow-forward firearm, chambered in .32 ACP with a 7-round magazine. While acknowledging its compact size for concealed carry, the video highlights significant drawbacks including concentrated recoil, poor sights, and safety concerns related to the blow-forward action, especially during malfunction clearing. The Schwarzlose 1908 is ultimately recommended for its historical interest and mechanical uniqueness rather than practical application.
