This video explores a rare W+F Bern P47 pistol prototype, one of only ten developed for Swiss Army trials in the late 1940s. The P47 was designed to replace the Luger with a simpler, more modern, and cost-effective 9mm Parabellum pistol. It features an elegant, all-steel design with a gas-delayed blowback operating system similar to the H&K P7, contributing to its compact size. The pistol boasts Swiss-watch precision, a frame-mounted thumb safety, integral rear sight, windage-adjustable front sight, and a European-style heel magazine release for its 8-round single-stack magazine. While the P47 lost the trials to the SIG P49 (commercialized as the P210), it represents a significant piece of firearm history and an interesting design evolution.

Mike provides an in-depth look at the Husqvarna m/07, the Swedish variant of the FN 1903 pistol. He discusses his personal "love-hate" relationship with this early semi-automatic handgun, noting its service with the Swedish army as late as the 1980s and its distinctive 9x20mmSR ammunition. The video also briefly features the SIG P210/P49 and SIG-Sauer P226, suggesting a comparative or historical context. The review highlights the potential of the m/07 as one of the most powerful blowback service handguns ever widely adopted.
