A first for me . Those frame lugs are pretty massive . Kicked like a mule I’m guessing ?

Do you have any of these old timers that are capable of firing, would love to see some of these old 1900 stretch there legs a bit and fire a few rounds, interesting methods of design back then

@krazy45cat The reports from the US Army Pistol and Revolver trials stated that the recoil was uncomfortable for those who shot them. From that design, I would guess the lugs were a factor in the shock of the recoil being transfered to the hand.
Thanks for watching!

@TNPviewer The temptation to fire these is great, but unfortunatly they are not worth much if they are broken. 100+ years old and the replacement parts often times have to be made by hand. Many times a .45 might have cracks that are not visible to the naked eye. The 1902 Military Model (.38 acp) is more common and one is more likely to find a “shooter” but then you need the ammo, which is obsolete. If I ever get the chance to fire one, I will definately post the video. Thanks for watching!

You’re videos are making me want to look up more history of guns. Even getting interested in collecting some of these.

GREAT video!
Looks like the 1905 model actually was comprised of fewer parts than the 1911,
but was harder to assemble/dissassemble.
