Othais and Mae delve into the story of this WWI classic. Complete with history, function, and live fire demonstration.

C&Rsenal presents its WWI Primer series; covering the firearms of this historic conflict one at a time in honor of the centennial anniversary. Join us every other Tuesday!


Cartridge: .32 ACP
Capacity: 8 rnds
Length: 6.6"
weight: 1.5 lbs


This episode we spend some time going over a decent pistol with a bad reputation. Many
people consider the separate breachblock of the Langenhan to be a potentially suicidal
feature, but it's pretty secure... we think.
Stick around to see where it came from, how it performs, and just what Mae thinks of
this infamous .32 pocket pistol. Love it or hate it, this little guy was a piece of WWI
history.
