Dreyse 1910: An Attempted WW1 9mm Pistol
The Dreyse Model 1910, engineered by Louis Schmeisser, was an ambitious 9mm blowback pistol intended for German police. Its unique, stiff recoil spring necessitated a manual bypass mechanism for cycling. Despite orders, reliability issues limited production to around 500-600 units, with many holsters later adapted for Lugers.
