Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Bergmann 1896" in English language version.
Bergmann-Schmeissers of the 'New Model' (1896 type) appeared on the commercial market in the autumn of 1895.
The folding-trigger pocket pistol was unpopular, possibly owing to accidents caused by snagging the unprotected trigger, and a revised No. 2 appeared in the summer of 1896, perhaps at about the time a conventional extractor was added to the 6.5mm No. 3. The perfected No. 2 had the trigger in an aperture in the frame behind the magazine well.
The Bergmann 1896 pistol was typical of the experimental weapons of the time – it had some promising features but also a few flaws. Among these was an ejection system that bounced the spent round off the next round in the magazine. This feature was dropped on the 1897 Bergmann Simplex model and subsequent designs.
