Bernardelli UB: Hammer and Striker Fired 9mm Blowback
This video delves into the rare Bernardelli UB pistol, a 9mm blowback design from post-WWII Italy. The presenter explains how Bernardelli attempted to enter the full-power pistol market by scaling up their existing .32/.380 designs. Notably, the pistol was designed to handle the hotter 9mm Lungo cartridge. Only about 85 were produced due to commercial and military failure. The video highlights the existence of two main versions: hammer-fired and striker-fired, which were produced concurrently in hopes of generating more interest. The description also includes links to Forgotten Weapons' Patreon and merchandise.
