Mannlicher M1905 Semiautomatic Pistol
Modelo 1905
9mm with stainless steel hammer and trigger. Delayed blow back operaing system.
Ribbed wooden grips secured with screws on both sides.

The M1905 is a pistol designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher in 1899 and originally produced in Austria as the Mannlicher Model 1901. The M1905 is the version of the Model 1901 that the Argentine Army purchased from Steyr in 1905. This semi-automatic pistol has a unique and elegant appearance due to the curve of the handgrip. It is single action and uses a blowback operation system to reload. Like its predecessors, the M1905 has a non-detachable magazine that can be loaded from the top with a stripper clip.

Blowback-operated weapons use the pressure from the spent round to push a bolt that is located behind the round back and forth against a spring. The pressure forces the slide back against the spring and ejects the spent cartridge. Then, a new round enters the chamber and the compressed spring pushes the bolt forward again, loading the bullet into the breech, leaving the gun ready to fire again.
