Design and history The pistol used a toggle lock system, which meant that when the gun fired, a two-piece arm rose and flexed as the gun recoiled, thus allowing the to unlock and release the empty cartridge case. DWM employed to promote the Borchardt pistol in military and commercial channels. The pistol was tested by the U.S.
Navy as early as 1894 and later by the U.S. Although it was accurate and its rate of fire was rapid, the Borchardt pistol was expensive to produce and unwieldy to handle due to its almost vertical grip and distribution of weight. Furthermore, its recoil was unexpectedly powerful. These criticisms were noted in the Swiss Army field tests.
However, Borchardt refused to make any changes to his original design. DWM then appointed Georg Luger to make the requested improvements to the pistol.
Luger took the Borchardt design, using the shorter cartridge, which allowed him to incorporate a shorter stroke of the toggle mechanism and a narrower, angular grip. Luger's design eventually became the.

Nonetheless, cartridge boxes from some manufacturers were marked 'For Borchardt and Mauser Automatic Pistols.' The Borchardt C-93 was manufactured and sold solely in its proprietary caliber, the 7.65×25mm Borchardt. Some test models were made in and 9×18mm Borchardt, an experimental bottlenecked cartridge developed in 1902. Gallery. ^ Antaris, Leonardo M. 'In the Beginning'.
