Shooting the 1883 Reichsrevolver
This video explores the 1883 Reichsrevolver, a German service pistol considered obsolete even at its adoption. Despite its archaic design, featuring a single-action-only mechanism, heavy hammer spring, manual safety, non-rebounding hammer, and lack of an integrated ejector, the reviewer found it surprisingly enjoyable to shoot. The video highlights the 10.6mm German Ordnance round, comparable to the .455 Webley, and describes the satisfying shooting experience with its deep boom, smoke, and manageable recoil. The Reichsrevolver is presented as a fun piece of historical firearm.
