This video delves into the 'Tarn,' a highly unusual and ultimately rejected British World War II experimental pistol. Developed by Z. de Lubicz Bakanowski and manufactured by the Swift Rifle Company, this 9x19mm simple blowback pistol was characterized by its heavy slide and recoil spring. Ten prototypes were produced and formally tested by the British in April 1945. However, the Tarn was deemed too violent in its action, difficult to charge, and inaccurate, leading to its rejection and the British opting to pursue the FN High Power instead. The Tarn never saw further production or development.
