This video explores an experimental prototype of the Pieper .45ACP pocket pistol, designed by Nicholas Pieper and originally manufactured by Steyr in 1908. While the standard models were successful in smaller calibers like .25ACP and .32ACP, this unique version was scaled up to .45ACP with aspirations for military or commercial sales in the US. A notable feature, shared with its smaller counterparts, is the absence of an extractor, a design choice enabled by its blowback operation but requiring manual removal of unfired cartridges by breaking the action.
