9×19mm *-P* cartridge

You know, when the 1911 episode comes, I half expect Othias to go something like: "Hi, my name is Othias, and I have no idea what this thing is. Let's put it in the lightbox anyway."

Othais, between you and Ian (Forgotten Weapons) I get THE most complete picture of weapons possible. This time, your team shot it out of the park. YOU ROCK! Man I have read Hoog, Elmer Keith, Smith and Smith, Cooper, and almost every other writer for the last 100 years but between your knowledge of history, animations, Mae's shooting and comments, and the general way you run a show (also Mark. My GAWD! keep that guy, you folks are a PERFECT TEAM!) you have one of the best firearms history presentations...EVER. and, (I am not un-informed) I learn something every time. When C&Rsenal is on, I know I have a far better and informational entertainment then well heck...the rest of the netowkrs coudl EVER provide. In Other words Crew: Me 'at is off to yee. My Compliments!

Such a mild mannered gentleman... Until the "AHAHAAAHAAAHAAA" split my eardrums faster than a stokes landing a meter from my head. Cheers, Othias.

Sometimes I imagine Othias goes around and randomly shouts "BODEO!" Occasionally.

17:53 All the stupid questions and time wasting emails finally broke him.

It's a good thing the Italians didnt adopt the Colt 1902. We all know that design was an evolutionary dead end.

This gun was made by my family

Good lord that laugh was horrifying.

Othias, I like the way you plug their books and throw business their way.

JUST DAWNED ON ME! Where I had seen that gun before. When I was a kid, I loved the Saturday morning cartoon shows on TV! Mattel was the toy maker that sponsored many of them, and one of their great toys was the spy camera/gun. It was a camera that, of course, didn't take pictures but press the button and a barrel popped out the front, a grip dropped down and you had a cool cap gun! When in the gun mode, it looked very much like this pistol!

Tomorrow is a holiday in my country (Flag Day) so I can watch this at 2 am and feel no guilt. Take that, C&Rrsenal!

That Winchester on the wall is just there to taunt us, isn't it

Part of comedic perfection is waiting for the right moment to reveal a new technique. Beautiful. Equal to Mae's smile in Fun Factor.

*Already hyped for the Fiat-Revelli*

I was reading "Liquidate Paris" by Sven Hassel and in the book, one of Sven's fellow soldiers traded a Nagant revolver for a Glisenti. Brought me to your video to find out what a Glisenti was!!

Quality work Othais and team. Thankyou again.

The animations are getting better and better. Great work with the zoom-in and all that stuff.

Once again we learn that Italian weapons have the most entertaining origin stories.

17:52 Well that was unexpected. A good video as always though.

Wow! That's the most balanced flip I've seen yet!

Yes, the animation highlights the parts being talked about. I hope this continues.

Once again you've satisfied my history jones. Thanks.

good job guys production is so slick.

As one who is interested in WW1 history and an Italian I really appreciate your work, very interesting and detailed video; also because you give specifications also in metric system, thanks

Even though pistols killed statistically zero soldiers in the great war, their history and production and engineering was awesome. And the glesenti kinda reminds me of the type 14 Nambu pistol.

ravioli ravioli give me the giisentioli

I love this series more and more with each episode.

FINALLY! You guys covered the Glisenti 1910. I don't know why but I have a weak spot for these pistols. My brother purchased a pair of these at a local gun show (seller wouldn't sell them separately) for a rather modest sum (considering there were two of them) after I brought them to his attention. He later sold the rougher of the two bringing his purchase point for one pistol even lower. Alas we have not shot it yet as we are trying to find ammunition for it. We are aware of a regular at our local gun shows who has the info to hand load some for us. Barring that we are somewhat leary about firing it as we don't know it's previous history. I don't know how one would tell if it has had 9mm Parabellum fired through it. Thank you Othias for the info about the safety. I'm sure we will check it out next time it emerges from the depths of the gun safe.

Actually, at the time of it's introduction, and through all WWI the possibility for a Glisenti 1910 to shoot a 9mm Luger cartridge by mistake was close to zero (unless a German officer tried to use his cartridges on a captured pistol, but obviously the Italians didn't care of this case). The 9mm Luger was not the most widespread 9mm cartridge in the world, but a cartridge used by only one handgun. Due to it's use in the Villar Perosa since 1915, Much more 9mm Glisenti cartridges than 9mm Luger had been manufactured until the end of WWI. The real slaughter of Glisenti pistols came only in 1943, when, with the disbanding of the Italian Army, many of those guns came in possession of partisans, that had to use them with any cartridge they could find. For the "overcomplicated", the Glisenti is actually made with less parts than a Luger or a 1911. It's expensive to make, cause it requires a high level of machining, but not that complicated. In the end, it's a lot of good ideas, ruined by only one of them, the side plate, that makes the frame too flimsy. With a single piece frame (it would have required to change the way of stripping the gun, but not even that much) the gun could have probably fired 9mm lugers, and today you would have seen much more of those antiques used at the ranges, with the enthusiasts arguing on what was better between this, the Luger, the Astra, ecc... On a side note, when Mussolini was arrested by the partisans at Dongo in his attempt to flee in April 1945, he had a Glisenti 1910 with him.

I like the new animations. Also I'm glad you added the POV of the sights during the review. This is an interesting pistol, if only they would've left it alone when it was looking like a decent pistol it might've been better. Using a 9x19 cartridge was definitely a mistake too. By the way, I'm so excited about he shirts. My birthday is coming up and I'm getting at least one of each shirt.

Great episode !

great as always

Damn, mechanically ive gotta say that this seems like an all around pretty slick design.

This channel deserves more subscribers.

"These cracked up as much as I did"... as I did too, as I did too...

Would .380 be a good substitute for 9mm Glisenti ? I've shot .380 out of a Norco 213, Chambered & fired, but , not enough power to eject & fully cycle.

any videos where Mae gives a "hard yes"? yeah... im serious.... much love C&R :-) you guys are amazing

"it's not a very reliable handgun" "we had many stovepipes" The extractor is clearly bent. Bending the extractor inward is an easy fix for a weakened one, but you can't expect the reliability of one in pristine conditions. BTW the bore axis is EXACTLY as high as in a Walther P38. It's only the shape of the gun that makes it seems higher.

How do you spell “Hosslaroche”? 11:28 I love fusion of C96 and P08 designs and would like to know more about this gun but I can’t find anything under the various ways I’ve tried to spell it

I want one now lol! Love your videos

For the general public, the book's title in English is The Five Lives of the Glisenti 1910.

I LOVE AND APRECIATE SO SO MUCH YOUR OUTMOST RESPECT TO THE AUTORS OF BOOKS .The world would be a better place if at least 30%of Her inhabitors would be like you .

I wonder if they had stuck with .30 Luger ?

The music during the animation sounds like something out of the Mass Effect trilogy, it's quite nice!

I have nothing to add but commenting helps the videos get ranking in search.

Are you guys gonna do an Episode on the Krag Jorgensen? It'd be interesting to see how that action works.

JAM-O-MATIC! Good effort on getting this episode in. That gun did not make it easy apparently.

To quote Get Shorty "The Fiat of Guns"

Reminds me of the Type A "Grandpa" Nambu, but oddly taller. Gramps got some lifts!

When May said at end of review 'Im good' Really enjoy her role in review

Okay, first off, this isn't me asking for/demanding the M1911 episode. This is me understanding that the Browning 1900/M1911 setting the pattern for modern Semi-auto handguns is more than the gun being on the side of the victors of the history of the 20th Century.

You guys really need to do an episode on that ppsh caliber m1911 you got on your wall...

Can you reccomend any books that detail information about Japanese handguns? I know the question is irelevant but I was just curious.

Nice group 👌

You know I have owned plenty of guns in the past, from an old Luger that was in pristine condition, some of those little .32 and 380 pistols from the Checz area, 9mm makarav and plenty of 9mm par pistols, now all I have left in my drawer are two .45's one an officers model M1911A1 and the other an Astra A-100. Love the .45's but for kicks, I would love to have one of these pistols just to take out plinking with light loads of 9mm.

C&Rsenal at 50% speed on your youtube settings- try it.

Looking forward to a review of the earlier Berretta's.

I believe you've answered this question before, but do you plan to eventually do world war 2 firearms? I'd really like to learn more about the MP-28 and MP-34

17:53 SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE A GIF OF THAT SHIT

I'd love to see special that just focuses on the vast variety of bullets used in WWII.

I'm wondering how much "high" that bore axis really is. Surely it's higher than that of the Luger, but, picturing the barrel as completely covered by the slide, the recoil spring under it, and a dust cover, it doesn't seem higher than that of a SIG P226, that's a relatively hig bore axis pistol, but modern and perfectly viable. the snappy feeling when firing is probably more due to the scarce mass on the front of the handgun. The more the mass is concentrated around the center of gravity, the easier is to make it roll.

Sad this wasn't in bf1, we did get the bodeo and modello (I think I misspelt it)

What metal is the clip er... magazine fabricated from? It does look really flimsy, possibly aluminum. Has it lost it's hardening over time or was it not even heat treated?

why do the rifles on the wall keep changing? that model 94 wasnt there before.

so the cei rigatonni is next?

The modello 1899 would be interesting.

Out of curiosity, did you guys hand load for these? I'm imagining so as original ammo is impossible to come by. If so, do you happen to have any load data available? I have one of these, as well as a Beretta in the same cartridge, and haven't found any reliable data for it. It is basically just 9mm downloaded but I haven't found a reliable velocity figure for it.

Sleep is for the weak.

What is the historical song on this one for the shooting section?

Found a photo lay out of that camera gun that I was talking about below, check it out: www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1964-mattel-agent-zero-snap-shot-camera-pistol

Insightful .......

As a suggestion/favor, when you reference another video, e.g. Ian's or your own, could you put links to the video in the description? I think it would help drive traffic to those videos. also, some folks (me, for one) sometimes have trouble tracking them down.

Original drawings showed round had truncated cone bullet. Noted your cartridges had round nosed bullets. Could this be part of feeding problem? I've seen 9mm Parabellum commercial with truncated cone bullets, does anyone still commercially make this bullet type?

I don't think you have playback speed change enabled for viewers on this video.

Is that a Winchester 94 on the wall behind you? :D

For some reason I misheard the intro as "Italy was fucking up" and thought Othais was just being real for a minute there.

Wakes up ready to study. Sees episode about Italian gun. No time to study, the Piave is calling!

Keep it up

What is the name of the song when Mae is shooting?

Wouldn't it be the company armorer's job to work with it until it shoots reliably? at least when clean? So then it shouldn't be a problem for the soldier who should not receive the gun until the adjustments are done. Also, I hear that flimsy M1 Carbine magazines were replaced almost weekly in combat, so it sounds like they should have done the same with these, though we don't know if they did. I like the Luger look, so what else looks like a Luger but has interchangeable parts and can work dirty? After all, it doesn't need to be any more accurate than I am.

Posting from the year 2021 and still no Brixia episode.

Do you have plans to do a video on the US model 1917 revolver?

keep it up

Found one of these at a local gun shop, what ammunition did you use for the shooting? Hand loaded or factory?

Hi team, is there a anvil episode on this pistol

As the 7.65? Would it be a yes or no for you?

What kind of ammunition can you fire?

The auto generated subtitles labeled it the placenta pistol, not glisenti pistol.

He laughs like Rocket Raccoon. "That is the most real, authentic, hysterical laugh of my entire life..."

I just have to ask what determines the gender of a firearm?

A small part of me wished that you and Ian had secretly planned to release videos on the Winchester 1895 on the same day. Instead, i got this. Im still glad, just a little sad

Cool pistol, but how do you source brass for reloading?

That laugh startled me. Don't do that man, now I need new pants.

I'm waiting for the BAR

I know I'm really late to this party, and it's not all that important in the big scheme of things...but - @ 1:29 - "Francesco" is pronounced "fran-CHES-co" in my experience (said experience including that it was my father's name.) It's no big deal, but it's always good to know for the future. Cheers! :-)

I love how you just threw Ians name out there and assumed everybody just knew who you were talking about. I mean we do, but I just thought it was funny lol.

At least it gave the Italians a cartridge for the villar perosa. I’d be sad if that weird thing never got made.

how do i write the name of pistol in 11:28?

25:19 Winchester on the wall 43:19 No Winchester on the wall, BUT a Winchester with the best smile. :)
