Theoretically, its a left handed revolver since the crane opens to the right-hand side; French cavalry troops were trained to fight with their saber in their right hand and their sidearm in the left hand.
Tout à fait. A l'époque l'arme principale de la cavalerie (française en tout cas) était... le sabre... Le revolver étant finalement un back-up... qui se manipulant donc avec la main faible... Nous avons toujours eu une longueur d'avance 🤣🤣🤣
This revolver is in great condition for the age. Usually most guns over 100 years are rusty and look like hell. Whoever had this one all those years took real good care of it, still shoots real good too.
It's amazing that men like Wild Bill Hickok could shoot the wings off a fly from 75 yards out with EARLIER versions of the revolver. It makes one appreciate the ability of the old gunslingers.
People need to understand that every weapon reflects the needs of the time it was made. The cylinder opens to the right because they need it to open so. The cartrige is the equivalent of a 32 acp in terms of power. They killed a lot of people with this 'anemic' cartrige during ww1. For a gun made more than a hundred years ago, it's a beauty and still in very good shape. Haters gona hate no matter what you show them.
true. depending on powder you can actually load these to 210 foot pounds and still be well under the rated 18000 psi. the original loading of both this and the 1873 11mm french revolver were so anemic for what the gun was actually built for thats how they got the reputation for being so weak. the french 1873 can also be loaded to 320 foot pounds at 12000 psi which is approaching 9mm power level. definitely not weak guns at all.
Can you imagine having this thing in the 1890s? Would be like carrying a Glock with a switch today 😂. Love seeing these historic guns actually used not gathering dust❤
La mayoría usamos una pistola como arma principal de defensa, los calibre 9mm Luger y los 9mm ACP son los principaled en el mercado de armas de uso civil... tener un revólver Taurus 38 magnum o un revólver 38 special es tener un arma confiable y con un buen poder de parada. Los revólveres no han pasado de moda... quizas sean 7, 6 o 5 disparos... pero no se atascan o encasquillan como cualquier pistola incluyendo las famosas Beretta o Glock.
This is actually the case due to the fact that French calvary used their saber in their right hand, meaning the left hand had to be used for their sidearm
@@longlivetheknot4589Or that you would transition the revolver to your left hand for the duration of reloading, and use your more dextrous right hand for the fiddly parts. You probably weren't simultaneously striking with your saber and firing with your handgun. You still need a hand for the reins.
Micah Bell's favorite revolver, he even dual wields them, I still don't understand how he missed those shots in the end, jim milton was literally standing in front of him😂
Pensa io da italiano con la licenza per possedere armi non ho mai acquistato una Beretta 92 dato che il fusto è di alluminio. Amo solo l acciaio l ottone e il legno
Que belleza de revolver...una obra de arte para esos tiempos. Y lo bueno es que no se mueve mucho...como otros que cabezean demasiado y se hace dificil pegar en el blanco.
As armas antigas sao muito utilizadas nas guerras como vc bem sabe em um certo estado do meu pais ainda operam algumas unidades modernizadas das metralhadoras dinamarquesas Madsen e devido a adaptação que passaram sao extremamente operacionais no campo de batalha A famosa risada da Madsen coloca muito terroristas pra correr
J’adore ce revolver avec son look atypique malheureusement en France il est toujours classé en catégorie B à part les modèles civils qui sont en catégorie D mais hors de prix
Perfect to make some german stormtroopers say hello to frederick the great or make a ghoul stop bothering you for a while at least, because someone decided the damn thing should tank grenade blasts for some reason
a ação dupla fechou com chave de ouro o periodo do velho oeste, era tecnologia de ponta na época, entregando uma maior cadência de disparos e com maior precisão, todo mundo queria esses revolveres, até a virada do século dar inicio com as primeiras pistolas semi automáticas
Meu pai tinha um igual,esse revólver é um Sant Tiene de Arms Francês,calibre 3220, quando ele morreu a 4 anos de infarto ,o revólver sumiu da casa , ficou só o coldre
Na verdade, algumas pessoas faziam recarga do 8mm Lebel recalibrando cartuchos de .32-20, mas esse não era o calibre original. Também é possível que algum armeiro tenha feito transformação de calibre.
