Chen Cheng can't put down the unpopular German pistol Ortegis: Sasha's Weapons Atlas No. 315
Today's protagonist is the German Ortgies 7.65mm pistol.
The gun was once famous in the gap between World War I and World War II and was a best-selling pistol.
This pistol is from the Ortages company.
This is the German Heinrich. Ortegis, a firearms company established after World War I.
Born in the late 19th century, the family has been selling firearms.
In the Ortages generation, they finally started their own company in 1919 and began to manufacture pistols instead of simply selling them.
Ortgis specializes in fine and detailed pistols, such as the Ortgis 7.65 mm pistol.
The gun has a simple structure, basically the same as the Browning M1910 pistol, and even the appearance is relatively similar.
The Browning M1910 pistol, the famous Chinese Huakou pistol, is a small self-defense pistol.
The gun adopts the principle of free bolt, carries 8 rounds, weighs only 0.65 kg, and belongs to a pocket pistol.
Inheriting the spirit of German craftsmen, the Ortgis pistol is known as the best processed pistol in the world.
By 1921, the Ortgis pistol was sold all over the world, and the company was immediately acquired by the German Arsenal.
After the acquisition, the Ortgis pistol began to be sold worldwide as a German fist product.
From 1919 to 1924, more than 400,000 guns were produced, which is a remarkable number.
The biggest feature of this gun is high accuracy, which is the most suitable high-precision pistol for targeting.
It has been sold well in North America, and in the twenties of the last century, it became a well-known competition pistol in North America.
In many shooting competitions, more than half of the contestants will choose this highly accurate pistol.
This gun is so good, but the price is not expensive, only less than $10.
A mediocre revolver at that time also sold for $ 10.
Its shape is very distinctive, square, angular, and full of deterrence.
However, the Ortgis pistol did not become the standard weapon of any country, even Germany.
Due to its high accuracy and small size, it has become the gun of many generals.
Chen Cheng, a general of the Nationalist Army, loved the pistol and wore it all his life, giving it to a museum in Taiwan after his death.
