Othais and Mae delve into the story of this WWI classic. Complete with history, function, and live fire demonstration.
C&Rsenal presents its WWI Primer series; covering the firearms of this historic conflict one at a time in honor of the centennial anniversary. Join us every other Tuesday!
Mauser Model 1914 “Pocket Pistol”
Cartridge: .32 ACP
Capacity: 8 rnds
Length: 6.1”
weight: 1.3 lbs
This handgun was mostly a product of Josef Nickl and would begin the concept of a “pistol family” in the commercial market. Sadly it never realized its dream of 9mm glory, but still enjoys a major place in firearms history.
