This video delves into the rare prototype of the Mauser HSc pistol, specifically a locked-breech variant chambered in 9x19mm. The presenter explains that Mauser initially intended the HSc to be a pair of pistols: a blowback version for civilian/police use and a locked-breech version for military applications. This prototype, designated V1001, utilizes Josef Nickl's rotating barrel patent. Ultimately, this design was not adopted by the German military, which favored an exposed barrel, leading to the development of the HSv and eventually the adoption of the Walther P38. The video highlights the historical context and the reasons behind the prototype's lack of production.
