Designed as a new pistol for the German army in the 30's, this weapon was manufactured almost with competition standards, although later in the war the externals received way less polish than the internals to ease production.
It was the first of its kind to use a double action trigger, it also included an indicator on the back of the slide that retracts when the chamber is empty. As for the action, when fired, both the barrel and slide moved backwards, but the barrel was stopped soon after (with the slide continuing to feed the next bullet), both of them coming back together. This allowed for good accuracy, as the movement was completely straight.
