The Frommer 1901 is a large, long-recoil pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer, featuring a rotating bolt and an integral 10-round magazine fed by stripper clips. Chambered in 8mm Roth, it was submitted for US military trials in 1904 but ultimately rejected due to its caliber, feeding mechanism, and lack of a clear empty-chamber indicator. Its complex design includes two separate recoil springs and a unique disassembly process.

This review delves into an extremely rare Frommer prototype semi-automatic rifle, a complex design by Rudolf Frommer of FEG. The rifle features a long recoil action with a rotating bolt, a unique spring-loaded bolt handle for easier clearing, and several unusual controls like a grip safety and a cocking indicator. Its complexity, similar to the Remington Model 8, likely contributed to its limited production and adoption.

This video documents an attempted range test of a Frommer 1910 pistol. The owner, after acquiring scarce 7.65mm Frommer (Short) ammunition, heads to the range with high hopes. Unfortunately, the test-firing proves unsuccessful due to a weak hammer spring preventing primer detonation. The video also touches on the absence of a firing pin safety and potential issues with the slide short-cycling. The owner identifies the need to replace the firing pin spring and acknowledges potential problems with the magazine's feed lips as further obstacles to getting the pistol functioning properly for video recording.

The Frommer 1910 is a unique Hungarian automatic pistol designed by Rudolf Frommer, featuring a complex long recoil system and a rotating bolt. Despite its advanced mechanics for the era, its 7.65mm Frommer cartridge was underpowered, making the system overkill. The design evolved from earlier models, gaining a grip safety and detachable magazine, but retains some safety concerns like the difficult grip safety and lack of a hammer block.
