This video delves into the rare Union Semiauto Revolver, manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, prior to World War I. Unlike the premium Webley-Fosbery, the Union was designed to be an inexpensive alternative to traditional revolvers, chambered in .32 S&W Short with a 5-round cylinder. The video highlights its mechanical similarities to the Webley but notes its lower manufacturing standards. It discusses the Union's limited production of around 300 units, attributed to its high manufacturing cost ($10 retail) which made it uncompetitive against cheaper revolvers and more advanced semiautomatics like the Colt/Browning Model 1906. The design is credited to Charles Lefever, son of the noted shotgun builder.
