ReichRevolver
 
I am expecting a new (1883 model, made in 1894) Reich revolver in a few days.

Does anyone have a repro holster he/she would like to sell? Other than Paul Schipper's (out of stock now) holster any one know of an affordable maker?

Any one have advice on shooting it with either VERY light smokeless loads, or with initation black powder? What casings, what reloading tools??

Sorry, on this one I am pretty blank! Sucking up knowledge from web, but sometimes that is hardly a good idea!
Thanks for any thoughts and ideas!

Is that the Rast & Gasser 8mm revolver???

No, I belive it to be the 10,5 MM, used till the end of WW1 by medical, artillary,and such that were not right in the front, but still needed or wanted a side arm.
Given it has no built in way of ejecting fired cases, I would be a little unhappy with it compared to my luger!
(though it likly never jams!)

Click on the links & resources here on left of this page. And click on German Lugers-Central Powers & Axis Pistol Forums. There's a thread for Reich Revolvers there.
