Mauser 1877 Single-Shot Pistol
This video provides an in-depth look at the Mauser C77 (Construktion 1877) single-shot pistol, the Mauser brothers' initial attempt at a commercial or military handgun. Despite its obsolescence by 1877, the C77 found a niche as a target pistol due to its complex falling block action, which allowed for automatic ejection and breech closure. Chambered for the 10.6mm Imperial German revolver cartridge, it featured good sights but a heavy double-action-only trigger. The video also briefly mentions other Mauser firearms for comparison, including revolvers and rifles, and links to the creator's Patreon and merchandise.
