This review of the Belgian FN 1903 highlights its historical significance and mechanical features. Key specifications include a 7-round capacity in 9mm Browning Long, an 8.1-inch length, and a weight of 2.2 lbs. The pistol employs a blowback operation and features both a grip safety and a manual thumb safety. While praised for its dense profile, the trigger is described as mushy and creaky, and recoil is noted as snappier than expected.

This video delves into the diverse world of 9mm cartridges, highlighting over a dozen distinct types beyond the common 9mm Luger. It traces the origins of the 9mm Parabellum from the 7.65mm Luger and explores variations like 9mm NATO. The discussion covers historical cartridges such as 9mm Largo, 9mm Browning Long, and 9mm Mauser Export, alongside modern variants like .380 Auto (9mm Kurz) and niche rounds like 9x21mm. The unique design of the 9mm Makarov, with its larger bullet diameter, is also explained.

The Le Français Type Armée is a rare French service pistol based on a 1912 civilian pocket pistol. It features a unique tip-up barrel for loading and is double-action only with a heavy trigger pull, a design considered less suitable for military service. Despite testing, it was not officially adopted by the French military due to its trigger, action, and weight, though some officers acquired them privately.
