History of WWI Primer 06A*: German Reichsrevolver M1879 Documentary
The German Reichsrevolver M1879 was a rugged, single-action-only handgun developed after German unification to standardize sidearms. It fired a unique 10.6x25mmR black powder cartridge and featured a gate-loading system with a separate brass rod for ejection. Despite its robust construction, its ergonomics, particularly the grip and safety lever, were criticized for discomfort during firing.
