A!CTION Mauser C96 Red9 Type X Model Gun
About Real Mauser C96 Red 9 Certainly. The Mauser C96 Red 9, often nicknamed the "Red Nine," is a specific variant of the iconic German semi-automatic pistol developed during the First World War. As the German army struggled to produce enough standard Luger P08 pistols to meet wartime demand, it turned to the reliable and readily available Mauser C96. The original C96 was chambered for the 7.63?25mm Mauser cartridge, but the German military required a version using the more common 9?19mm Parabellum round. To prevent soldiers from accidentally loading the wrong ammunition?which would cause serious malfunctions or damage?the wooden grip panels of these 9mm pistols were prominently marked with a large red number ?9.? This highly visible warning gave the weapon its famous nickname. The Red 9 featured a 140mm barrel and a ten-round fixed magazine, and it was often issued with a wooden holster that could double as a shoulder stock, improving accuracy. Approximately 137,000 to 150,000 Red 9 pistols were produced between 1917 and 1918, making them relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today. Genuine examples bear German military acceptance stamps, or Waffenamt marks, confirming their wartime service. Due to their historical significance and limited numbers, authentic Red 9 pistols are valued much higher than standard commercial C96 models.
