This video showcases the Femaru 37M pistol, a historical semi-automatic firearm manufactured by Fémáru, Fegyver- és Gépgyár (FÉG). Keith Ford of Brownells Gun Tech presents this rare U.S. find, highlighting its design by Rudolf Frommer, the last gun he designed before his passing. The 37M served as the standard-issue sidearm for the Hungarian army between 1937 and 1944. The video details its chambering in .380 ACP (9mm Kurz), a unique barrel removal system for field stripping, and its robust construction. Production of approximately 180,000 units, including a .32 ACP variant for the German military during WWII, ceased in 1944. Keith's example is noted as an excellent condition "bring back" from an American G.I.
