As a Canadian with a very limited choice of handguns, the French 1892 is the only gun I own with a swing-out cylinder. I’ve gotten so used to popping out the cylinder with my left thumb and ejecting with my left index finger, then loading with my right hand, that the “normal” swing out cylinders on modern revolvers feel backwards and awkward to me.

In the cartridge era their military also employed quite a lot of copies of top break S&W and Merwin Hulbert revolvers of decent quality chambered in adequately powered cartridges.

When I was a boy, I guess I was 8 or 9 years old, we moved to town so my sisters could go to high school, dad sold the farm and we moved to a rooming house. I had a bedroom that I shared with another fellow on one side of the ranch house, mom dad and my sisters lived in the two rooms on the other side of the house. Well the old man who owned the house had a son who was in WWII, and survived Normandy. HE brought home an old footlocker that was stored in my bedroom. When I was alone I used to pull that old foot locker out and rummage through his war trophies, I Loved the German Dagger and the Hitler Youth knife as well as a revolver that looked a lot like the one in this video. Sure wish I had those things today but they stayed in the room when dad found us a house to move to and we left the old man's house. I had a blast playing with those trophies though, there was even a French helmet and rifle in the corner. I met the owner once when we drove his dad to visit him in Lead South Dakota where the man worked in the gold mine there.

The 8mm French cartridge is anemic but the US had just adopted the 38 LC in 1892 and it was around the same power so at the time it would have been seen as contemporary. However considering that US Army soldiers complained about the lack of power 38 LC had im not surprised French soldiers complained about the 8mm cartridge.

When you look at guns from the same period, civilian or military, especially in Europe, it doesn't look particularly weak. The ammo weakness and the cylinder popping out the "wrong way" are two quasi-cliches each time this gun is mentioned. Again, as O. pointed out, when they added the cylinder swing-out, only the Cokt had that feature. It wasn't yet a de facto design standard. I think it made sense to swing on the right because people were then used to load with loading gates on the right, the right hand being the most agile for 90% of people. I think the 1892 had such a long service well beyond WW1 that it gets compared to modern guns, and objectively superior, like the Luger and 1911, or to the mature forms of the revolver that came later when design convergence took place.

Oui oui, le modèle 1892, hon hon hon ! I have one my grandfather left me. The action is like clockwork, it functions perfectly and is a very nice shooter, although it's difficult to locate ammo for it..I have some "8 Lebel" from Fiocchi and some reloads made from .32-20 cases - as well as an original box of "25 Cartouches pour Revolver 8 m/m" of French production.

I have one as well, dated 1901. It's easy to load for using trimmed .32-20 cases, once you find the correct Lyman bullet. You can step it up a bit, but not by much without the groups opening up. Once you figure out the odd sight picture, they tend to be very nice shooters and quite accurate.

@@foreign_affairs For a time, the easiest way to "size" the .32-20 cases was to simply fire the .32-20's out of the 1892. (Back when one could easily find .32-20!) Sometimes I had to dress the ends of the projectiles, depending on the load to ensure the cylinder would rotate, but the end result was a ready to trim case.

43:00 As you say, the cavalry's needs have a high priority here. Those square studs may keep the cylinder from oscillating back and forth when on horseback, especially when moving at a trot. This may reduce wear and tear on the hand and the Abige gate spring. Does this sound plausible?
