Bergmann No. 3 & No.4 1896 Pistols
This video delves into the historical Bergmann No. 3 and No. 4 pistols from 1896. It highlights the differences between the two models, focusing on their calibers (6.5mm and 8mm respectively) and production numbers. The No. 3, chambered in 6.5mm, was more popular with around 4,000 units produced, while the No. 4 in 8mm saw limited production of only a few hundred. The description emphasizes the No. 3's respectable stopping power for its time, comparing it favorably to the later .25 ACP. Technical details are discussed, including the automatic dust cover over the ejection port on the No. 3 and the evolution of barrel retention methods. The video also mentions Bergmann's willingness to customize features like barrel length, grips, and even set triggers for target shooting.
