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.
