This video explores the Schouboe Prototype .45 Pistols, notably those that competed in the 1907 US Army pistol trials. Designed by Jens Schouboe, also known for the Madsen machine gun, these pistols featured a simple blowback design chambered in .45 caliber. They utilized a unique, lightweight, high-velocity cartridge (63 grains at 1600fps) which led to their rejection by the Army, who favored the .45 ACP cartridge. The video highlights the pistols' remarkably simple disassembly. Two examples are shown: a standard version with metal grips and a fancy gold-inlaid model intended for the President of Uruguay.
