This video delves into the Mauser HSv, an experimental locked-breech pistol developed as a potential replacement for the Luger P.08 in the late 1930s. It was one of three main contenders alongside BSW and Walther (whose design became the P.38). The description details Mauser's design evolution, including adapting to military requirements for an exposed barrel and adopting a Webley-like lever system for the recoil spring. While considered a capable pistol, its higher production cost led to the Walther P.38 being selected. The video highlights the fate of Mauser's larger locked-breech design compared to their successful smaller blowback models like the HSc.
