Galand de Guerre Model 1872: Too Good for the Military

This video delves into the history and specifications of the Galand de Guerre Model 1872 revolver, a solid-frame pistol developed for French military trials in 1871. Despite its strong competition against the Chamelot-Delvigne, the Galand ultimately lost due to its higher cost. The description highlights its 12mm Galand caliber, 6-round capacity, single/double action operation, tool-less disassembly, and durable lockwork. It also mentions the Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 as the trial winner.
