TWO WORLD WARS!
TWO WORLD WARS!
DEUX GUERRES MONDIALES
As far as World War revolvers go,
I'd still rather have the UNDISPUTED 2x World War Champ, the M1917.
I'll take the S&W version.
Ehhh ya but a solid loser in one and bogged down and held up in another.
@@txgunguy2766 , Agreed on revolvers, but I'd still prefer a Luger or a 1911.
@thelaughinghyenas8465
Yeah, I'd DEFINITELY take a 1911. I absolutely depise the 9mm cartridge.
ALTHOUGH....... during the trials that led to the adoption of the 1911, one of its competitors was a .45ACP Luger.
The French copy no-one, and no-one copies the French! Vive la C&Rsenal! 🎉
Untrue the Français invented literally everything in warfare from the trebuchet to the smokeless powder and rifled barrels
I mean, this one is pretty conventional for its time.
@@ommsterlitz1805 The French didn't invent rifled barrels. Crude rifling was first developed in Germany in the 1500's. However, modern rifling as it exist today's is entirely an American development/invention.

Mae will make a very interesting grandma one day.
They gonna LOVE Grandma!😀
I had no idea a loading gate revolver with a swing-out cylinder existed. Usually it's either one or the other.
Thank you Mae.
So you're telling me I can't just walk into Bass Pro Shop and buy 8mm French Ordnance right off the shelf? what a sad world we live in
Fiocchi still loads it 😊
It very closely approximates. 32-20, can be reloaded from 32-20 brass in 8mm Ordnance dies.
Actually you probably could. I've bought 7.5x54 French there.
Despite the Fudds complaining “It sWiNgS ouT tHe wRonG SiDe” it’s actually easier to reload quickly. Check out Jerry Miculek’s quick reload technique. The right-swinging cylinder on the 1892 allows you to do that without turning the revolver on its side.
Mae using the Paul Harrell slap to eject spent rounds. Bravo !
good weapon for dealing with indescribable horrors in dimly lit french bunkers
People keep knocking on the power of this gun yet they can be loaded up to 200 foot pounds and still be safely under the rated 18000 psi. Last I checked that's plenty enough to kill someone and a fair bit stronger than your standard 32 acp which is also a military cartridge.
A .22 short has the power to kill so I wouldn't knock this.
That smile. That damn smile.
Ok, so 8mm French isn't .45 cal, but at least you could lead a charge on the Anthill with it! No guarantees you'll take it though.
Thanks Mae, always enjoy your reviews, Cheers
We're making it out of The Bunker with this one.
I was feeling pretty crappy about myself, but seeing that smile on Mae’s face made me feel a little bit better. Keep up the great work!
Mae brings a wonderful style of narrative to the description of various forearms. She reminds me a little of Phoebe Spengler.😄
a wonderful minute.have a good one Mrs.
Propably my favourite revolver of the great war
Nice to see (what I think is) a remake of the first Minute of Mae segment.
I remember that one. Due to the concept being new, Mae just said many features and history as fast as possible in such a short time. These videos have undoubtedly improved over time.
You have attracted the undivided attention of Gun Jesus!
*Breathes heavily in 32 French Longue*
I just had to laugh Mae when I saw you grimacing just to get the hammer all the way back on double action.
But I honestly couldn't tell if the smile at the end was because you were just glad you'd FINALLY gone through all 6 ,,or if you just liked it,,,I suspect , the former,,,LOL
Gotta love the vestigial Abadie gate on this one.
Great Job Mae 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great review and great shootin' - thanks!💖💜💯👍✌!

comment pour Mae et l'algorithme
I had a chance to buy a pair of them, in really nice shape and at a really nice price, and I didn't. decades later and I still regret that one
Fun fact: the barrel swings out from the right because it's a cavalry revolver and so it was supposed to be used with the left hand, leaving the right hand for the sword.
Very nice that it had it uses in both world wars.
Ay, we're remaking old MoM videos? Hell yeah, I'm here for it
I'd love to see your groups with these firearms.
left handed, and under-utilized, as the sabre would be the primary arm of the cavalry. until machine guns made cavalry charges obsolescent.
Love MOM! Thanks...
is this the revolver gun that was featured on Amnesia:Bunker?
Yes
Mae is Cute!!! CUTE!
One of the more criticized cartridge/revolver combos in history, but eventually French anti-terrorist police would be issued with what may be the best combat revolver ever fielded: The Manhurin MR73 Gendarmerie. 5.25" barrel, .357 Magnum, and you can still get a new one for a measly $3800 dollars and up!
Hey hey hey.. she's winking at me lads!
I wonder if the skinny grips were designed with leather gloves in mind? A full grip might feel bulky with riding gloves on.
That's not impossible, as no French officer would have go to war without wearing leather gloves. No matter where or when, they were an integral part of their attire. Though some men other than officers sometimes were equipped with this very fine and beautifully made weapon
1948, WOW !!
👍👍👍
I’d rather have that than a Nagant.
She smiled!(no readjusting grip...)
Was that heavy trigger pull intentional? Because I know they could've easily gone with a lighter pull. Is that something the French Cavalry wanted?
Many military guns have intentionally heavy trigger pulls. Early double action guns are also known for this and it could also be warranted due to less sensitive primers of the time as was the case for the colt 1878 and it's extraordinarily heavy trigger pull.
In my personal opinion trigger pull weights varies by a lot from one old gun to the next and is largely due to how gunked up the two rollers are on the 1892. I thought one had a really heavy trigger pull to another but it turns out it was just dirty in a very specific spot and once cleaned really wasn't that much heavier than a modern DA revolver.
I think it's bad that c&s arsenal takes the impression of an entire model of gun based off of one example they shot which may or may not have been in the best of shape.
I’ve always thought if you wanted to see an example American exceptionalism over Europe you could compare the ascetics Colt Single Action Army to literally any European revolver.
The thing is though that many European revolvers (minus the Spanish ones) were better made than an original colt. Colt still had low quality steel guns made from the Bessemer process which it was harder to control and test the carbon content or homogeny of the steel while France was already using the Siemens martin process at this time which allowed for testing and removal of excess carbon or phosphorus that could weaken steels.
Also the french 1873 used less parts, was a single action/double action gun, and was easier to clean than a colt 1873.
Dinky cartridge aside, it's still a usable design.
Was this the French revolver that had a safety that you set using the lanyard ring or am I thinking of another?
I don't remember this revolver having that.
No safety on this one at all. The loading gate does use the Abadie disconnect system though. Somewhat vestigial given the swing out cylinder…
@@blackpowderburner7296No real safety, but very few revolvers of this time had. But the 1892 had nevertheless a half cocking position for its hammer, which could act as a safety
@@laurentdevaux5617they have an automatic rebound position, not a manually set half cock.
Gimme gimme gimme gimme gimme
That example is very stiff! Mine is much smoother but still not a great double action pull.
The weakness of the cartridge is just bizarre. Slow and weak were not uncommon but at least most had a 150+ grain bullet. Very aristocratic
it kind like nagand m1895
Gun Jesus has entered the chat
1892 and the French haven't, quite, got the military revolver right.
it's okay though only like 65 years later will France make a revolver that surpasses everything else

Algorithm engagement comment
French: Our ordinance is a weak as our soldiers.
Weak, you said ? Who helped a real weak US army to defeat the Brit's ? And who resisted one year long the German army at Verdun in 1916 and ultimately defeated it, if not the French ?
@@laurentdevaux5617 Cheese-eating surrender monkeys?
Wait. I have a similar old 1910's-ish pistol made in Russia for the Russian police. Even has a lanyard holder. Who copied who?
Likely a Nagant 1895. Neither is a copy of the other, just the typical European style at the time
