Roth-Steyr 1907 at the Backup Gun Match
The Roth-Steyr 1907, an Austro-Hungarian cavalry pistol, was tested in a Backup Gun match. Despite its 10-round internal magazine loaded via stripper clips, the match limited rounds per stage. Malfunctions occurred due to underpowered Fiocchi ammunition, causing stovepipe failures. The pistol features a unique rapid unload mechanism but has a long double-action trigger pull.
