The Bergmann 1894/1896/1897 was a family of 19th-century semi-automatic pistols developed by German designer Louis Schmeisser and sold by Theodor Bergmann's company.[3][4]
This gun was released in the early days of automatic pistols, and was a contemporary of the Mauser C96 and Borchardt C-93 pistols.[5][2] The Bergmann 1894/1896/1897 pistols failed to achieve the same widespread success.[a]
There are several variations, but the internal mechanisms remain almost the same in all of them. The first cartridges in Bergmann pistols were grooveless, with the bullets having a sharp nose to avoid jams. Later pistols, however, have mechanical extractors and cartridges with grooved flanges. The M96 had an internal box-magazine holding five cartridges. [6][better source needed]
