The Austrian Gasser series of revolvers was produced from 1870 to 1918, covering a variety of models and calibers including the original Austrian army issued 11 x 46mm M1870 and M1870/74, the privately-purchased 9 x 26mm Gasser-Kropatschek M1876 officer's revolver, the 11.75 x 36mm M1870/74 and M1880 Montenegrin models produced for sale in the Balkans, and the 8 x 27mm WW1-era Rast-Gasser M1898.

[[Image:Gasser M1870s.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Gasser M1870 Montenegrin second model - 11.25x36mmR Gasser]]
The Gasser ''Armeerevolver'' M1870(/74) was an Austrian army revolver of 11.3 × 36 mm R caliber developed by Leopold Gasser and in service with the land forces of Austria-Hungary from 1870 to 1918. On August 14, 1870, the M1870 revolver was introduced in place of the earlier single-shot muzzle-loading pistol for, among others, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the cavalry, for mounted non-commissioned officers of the artillery and for the military transport corps of the land forces of Austria-Hungary. A slightly modified naval version also existed.
 
The 11.3 × 36 mm R cartridge was the same as that used in the [[Wänzl Rifle|Model 1867 carbine]] but was loaded with less powder for the revolver. Mix-ups led to various accidents and soon to the development of the M 1870/74 revolver, with a steel frame and an improved barrel mounting screw.
 
The Gasser M1870 was also exported to the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire since 1874 and was also the standard revolver of the militia of the Kingdom of Montenegro from 1910.

==Gasser Montenegrin M1870/74==
[[Image:Gasser Montenegrin 1st model.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Gasser M1870/74 Montenegrin - 11.25x36mmR Gasser]]
The Gasser Montenegrin M1870/74 revolver was modified in some details and introduced as the M/1870-74. The changes are basically a reinforced frame made of higher quality steel and an improvement of the barrel fixing screw.


'''Gasser revolvers have been used by the following actors in the following movies and television series:'''
Gasser had already stopped supplying M/1870-74 revolvers before 1880 but served from 1880 to 1919.

==Rast & Gasser M1898==
[[Image:Rast-Gasser.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Rast & Gasser Modell 1898 - 8x27mm Gasser]]
The Rast & Gasser M1898 was an 8-shot revolver with a cocking trigger. The cylinder could not be unfolded, instead, the cartridge chambers had to be loaded individually. This was done by a loading flap on the right behind the cylinder. Then, by means of the ejector rod under the barrel, the empty cases could be removed one by one, then the cartridges were reloaded one after the other. The cylinder was rotated by pulling the trigger. Opening the loading door simultaneously disconnected the trigger from the hammer, so that no shot could come loose during the loading process. Workmanship and reliability were at a high level, but the bullet energy and man-stopping power proved to be too low. The angle of the grip also made the gun somewhat unwieldy. The reason for the steep grip angle was the standing firing position with an angled arm, which was the case at the time, unlike today. Although the model was replaced by the [[Roth-Steyr M1907]] pistol as early as 1907, the revolver remained in use until the Second World War.

Revision as of 12:55, 18 May 2021

The Austrian Gasser series of revolvers was produced from 1870 to 1918, covering a variety of models and calibers including the original Austrian army issued 11 x 46mm M1870 and M1870/74, the privately-purchased 9 x 26mm Gasser-Kropatschek M1876 officer's revolver, the 11.75 x 36mm M1870/74 and M1880 Montenegrin models produced for sale in the Balkans, and the 8 x 27mm WW1-era Rast-Gasser M1898.

Gasser revolvers have been used by the following actors in the following movies and television series:

The Gasser Armeerevolver M1870(/74) was an Austrian army revolver of 11.3 × 36 mm R caliber developed by Leopold Gasser and in service with the land forces of Austria-Hungary from 1870 to 1918. On August 14, 1870, the M1870 revolver was introduced in place of the earlier single-shot muzzle-loading pistol for, among others, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the cavalry, for mounted non-commissioned officers of the artillery and for the military transport corps of the land forces of Austria-Hungary. A slightly modified naval version also existed.

The 11.3 × 36 mm R cartridge was the same as that used in the Model 1867 carbine but was loaded with less powder for the revolver. Mix-ups led to various accidents and soon to the development of the M 1870/74 revolver, with a steel frame and an improved barrel mounting screw.

The Gasser M1870 was also exported to the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire since 1874 and was also the standard revolver of the militia of the Kingdom of Montenegro from 1910.

The Gasser Montenegrin M1870/74 revolver was modified in some details and introduced as the M/1870-74. The changes are basically a reinforced frame made of higher quality steel and an improvement of the barrel fixing screw.

Gasser had already stopped supplying M/1870-74 revolvers before 1880 but served from 1880 to 1919.

Rast & Gasser M1898

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Rast & Gasser Modell 1898 - 8x27mm Gasser

The Rast & Gasser M1898 was an 8-shot revolver with a cocking trigger. The cylinder could not be unfolded, instead, the cartridge chambers had to be loaded individually. This was done by a loading flap on the right behind the cylinder. Then, by means of the ejector rod under the barrel, the empty cases could be removed one by one, then the cartridges were reloaded one after the other. The cylinder was rotated by pulling the trigger. Opening the loading door simultaneously disconnected the trigger from the hammer, so that no shot could come loose during the loading process. Workmanship and reliability were at a high level, but the bullet energy and man-stopping power proved to be too low. The angle of the grip also made the gun somewhat unwieldy. The reason for the steep grip angle was the standing firing position with an angled arm, which was the case at the time, unlike today. Although the model was replaced by the Roth-Steyr M1907 pistol as early as 1907, the revolver remained in use until the Second World War.
