Great video! My only quibble would be about the clips. I have 3 clips for mine, and have found them to be the best type of stripper clip I've ever used, especially considering it holds 10 rounds instead of 5 or 8. Perhaps you had a clip that isn't in good condition? I found that with a good swift push, all ten rounds load nice and smoothly almost every time, even when reloading on the clock.

I probably should have specified that they really are better than most others by far. Mae just doesn't seem to care for them over all. You'll have to put this on display properly for us!

I recently took a trip to the Heeresgeschichtliches (Austrian Military Museum) in Vienna, where they have several of these on display. None of the description tags said Roth-Steyr, but Roth-krnka, suggesting the Austrians refer to it as such. Side note, the museum also had an original girandoni air rifle tucked in a corner that I geeked out over.

@PositionLight 8 жыл бұрын

You forgot that another reason for stripper clip pistols is that for the mounted soldier this was their primary weapon (I think Ian on forgotten weapons said each trooper was issued with two pistols). Loading a single feed pistol mag is a major pain in the ass. You will always be able to load faster and more efficiently in the long run with a stripper clip system. Today, pistols are purely backup weapons so nobody ever considers needing to shoot one in combat all day. Watch Ian's video because his Styer pistols load smoothly from the clip every time.

@Candrsenal 8 жыл бұрын

I'm not sure I've seen Austro-Hungarian cavalry without a carbine of some sort in addition to the pistol. I'd have to do some source checking to back that. To my understanding the slow loading was acceptable precisely because it was a secondary weapon.

It is mentioned that the grips on the gun cause a little callous forming after a day of shooting. But as a cavalry pistol, and one from the early 20th century. It very well may have been intended to be used with a gloved hand. That may be a little more comfortable. But since this gun is a loan piece, there isn't really a way to go back and see if. Either way great episode, I learned a lot. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this video, which is a fascinating trove of information that I had never heard before about the Roth 1907 and the history of Austro-Hungarian pistols. It is a a delight to find videos that so match my interest in both the history, mechanical design, and shootability of pistols. I would also like to say two things I have have always thought about the Roth 1907: 1) The trigger mechanism is a precursor of the Glock's, in that it relies on a long springy pull for safety, and dispenses with a manual safety. 2) As far as I can tell, the tubular housing that encloses the barrel assembly is MACHINED FROM SOLID, even though it is the thickness of sheet metal. I could be wrong about this,, because it would be fantastically laborious to make if I am right.

@Candrsenal 7 жыл бұрын

Almost a hour long vid from C&R! what a treat! What a interesting way to approach a auto loading pistol. Its really kool that you give us the opportunities to enjoy and get educated on some of these unique weapons. Like you I always thought this was just another small European pistol something like a .32. boy was I wrong! That thing is a beast! How long did it take you to get it back together? I sure wouldn't want to be a cavalryman trying to do a fast reload on that thing while at full gallop, reigns and pistol in one hand, stripper in the other, trying to keep the horse going where you want while forcing that clip would be a real challenge. Mae's hair looks great! :)

Great videos, I've found that using the manual slide lock before trying to use the stripper clip makes it much easier to use and manipulate. In fact with the manual slide lock you can load the magazine directly without using a stripper clip, I do the same thing with the steyr-hahn using the slide lock. Also, I find it interesting that nearly 100 years before the glock, here is a striker fired austrian pistol....

Love the video (all of them, really), but strongly disagree with your assertion that the cartridge is "underpowered" or disproportionate to the locked-breech action. 8x19 (115@1090) is close on the heels of the classic 9mm ball load (115@1150) despite: -1mm less diameter (smaller powder chamber) -Less outward taper toward the base (further reduction in powder chamber) -Same-weight (despite being a full millimeter smaller in diameter) bullet - therefore longer in a similar COAL; therefore, significant further reduction in powder chamber. -None of the above derived from some proprietary, controlled-burn unobtainium 2015 powder from Underwood or Buffalo Bore, but first-gen smokeless! All of this adds up to equal (or likely greater) pressure to 9mm Para, i.e. at least twice that of the contemporary .45 ACP - hardly a creampuff.

That does make me wonder what cartridge would be better suited for the action. I get they’re a piece of history and could be somewhat rare. But i would love to see a modified one with a cartridge that would be the best viable option for the gun. That would use it for it’s best potential.

Roth Stery Model 1907 in the movies: "Stolen Holiday" 1937 with Claude Rains, Kay Francis, and Ian Hunter. Supposedly, Claude Rains uses a Roth Stery M1907 to kill himself at time hack 1:17:27.

Is it the angle of the magazine or the transition area just above the magazine that makes that stripper clip harder to use than, say a Mauser C96's or was it something else?

They are all roughly the same in difficulty. You have a narrow, two point clip-in at best. You're trying to shove cylinders down one another on the round sides as they are retained only at the thinnest lip at their far edge. They want to go anywhere BUT into the magazine. Then the mag has an interrupter that must be lipped over repeatedly. If you don't shove fully down, inserting your thumb all the way in, possibly bending your fingernail if you're not careful, you may have a round or two flop loose or cause a double-feed. Sometimes you think you have it and when you yank the clip one manages to pop up and cause the same. It's an... art.

The size makes me wonder if the A-H cavalry were still thinking in terms of clubbing people with the gun. That was standard practice in the single-shot days. How would it stand up to such treatment?

I'm not sure if this a terrible suggestion or not but I'd like to see you guys do the bit where May shoots the gun a bit more in the open, wider angles, have Othais there and talk about the gun with it there outside. I don't know maybe it's too hard.

I'm afraid keeping the shooting and history separate have been really helpful in splitting up the labor on the episodes. More angles we can always work on. We're in the middle of re-standardizing rifle shooting shots and then can go back and review both them and pistols for better stuff.

I second the suggestion on wider angles. Mae is shooting because of size comparison and especially rifles would show this better at a wider angle. It would also show the recoil better. ( Also keep up the good work! love the show.)

Thanks for the reply :D. Tottally makes sense with the shooting and history, I mean this channel might not have the largest number of videos on youtube but it's probably some of the thickest and interesting material on yt.
