This video delves into the Finnish m/44 Prototype Blowback 9mm Pistol, a fascinating piece of firearms history. Developed as a more cost-effective alternative to the Lahti L35 for the Finnish Defense Forces, its production was unfortunately timed, with the initial batch of 25 completed after the end of the Continuation War. Post-war treaties halted further development, leaving the m/44 as a limited production prototype. The video highlights its simple blowback 9x19mm operation, single-stack 8-round magazine, single-action trigger, and external hammer. It also draws comparisons to the Ruby and Browning fixed barrel pistols for its locking system and the Tokarev for its removable fire control unit. Production details from VKT in 1944 are also covered.
