Frommer 1910: The Hungarian Ugly Duckling
This video offers a detailed examination of the mechanics and internal workings of the Frommer 1910 pistol. It highlights the 1910 as the third, and most successful, iteration of Rudolf Frommer's long-recoil locked-breech pistol design, despite its limited production run (under 10,000 units) and early obsolescence by the more popular Frommer Stop in 1912. The description points out key design flaws that hindered its commercial success, including a weak 7.65x13mm cartridge and an overly complex rotating bolt and long recoil action for its intended cartridge. These very characteristics, however, make it an interesting subject for historical firearm analysis today.
