This video delves into the fascinating history and unique mechanics of the Bittner Model 1893 Repeating Pistol. Despite its unusual appearance, it predates iconic pistols like the Mauser Broomhandle and Luger. The manual action, operated by the triggerguard lever, loads rounds from an internal magazine, ejects spent casings, and cocks the striker. Firing a rimmed 7.7mm black powder cartridge, the Bittner offers reliability and a blend of single/double action capabilities. Its design, featuring an en bloc clip system and wood forend panels, showcases Germanic engineering innovation, representing an evolutionary step towards semi-automatic pistols. Production was limited to a few hundred units in the late 19th century.
