History of WWI Primer 020: German Dreyse 1907 Pistol Documentary
The Dreyse 1907 pistol, designed by Louis Schmeisser and produced by RMM, was a notable German pocket pistol of the WWI era. Despite its innovative cocking bar and forward-weighted breech block for compactness, it suffered from ergonomic issues and potential safety flaws like a lack of a positive disconnector in early models. Nevertheless, it proved surprisingly accurate in testing and saw significant service with the Royal Saxon Gendarmerie and the German Army.
