The Japanese Type 26 revolver, adopted in 1893, was Japan's first domestically produced military sidearm, replacing the Smith & Wesson No. 3. It features a unique tool-less disassembly mechanism by swinging the trigger guard forward. Chambered in a proprietary 9x23mm rimmed cartridge, it operates in double-action only with a free-spinning cylinder that indexes upon trigger pull. While comfortable to shoot due to low recoil and a smooth DA trigger, its cartridge is considered underpowered compared to contemporaries.

The Bergmann-Bayard M1910/21, a Danish service pistol, originated from Theodor Bergmann's early 1890s designs. Chambered in 9mm Bergmann (9x23mm), it fires a 135-grain bullet at 1100 fps from a 6-round magazine. Despite its potent cartridge, recoil is surprisingly light, though the trigger is heavy. Later Danish versions featured widened grips for better control.
