This review of the Mauser C96 Modello 1899, specifically an early Italian contract variant, highlights its historical significance and unique design. The firearm weighs 2.5 pounds with an 11.75-inch length, chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser. While its 'broomhandle' grip and front-heavy balance make it ergonomically challenging as a handgun, attaching a shoulder stock transforms it into a more effective carbine, improving handling and recoil management. The trigger pull is long but clean, and the safety is stiff.
