White-Merrill Experimental Model 1911 Pistol
This video delves into the White-Merrill Experimental Model 1911 Pistol, a unique handgun developed after the US 1907 pistol trials. The design, a significant departure from their earlier work, features a delayed blowback mechanism. While never officially submitted for testing due to fine-tuning issues and the adoption of the Colt/Browning Model 1911, this is the sole known example produced by White and Merrill. The video highlights the patent and discusses the experimental nature of the firearm, noting White's later contributions to rifle designs. The content offers a fascinating look at a lesser-known piece of early 20th-century firearm development.
