This entry details the rare Mauser 1877 Single-Shot Pistol, a unique design by Paul Mauser predating the Reichsrevolver. Ian McCollum, with high authority, explains its complex falling breech block mechanism, double-action-only trigger, and limited production of approximately 100 units. The pistol was chambered for the 10.6mm German Ordnance cartridge but never saw military adoption.
