Question about ISSF pistol shooting in the 1956 Olympics

Post by Leon »

Apart from the revolutionary, and strange upside down Russian pistol, what other rapid fire guns were used in the ISSF Olympic Rapud Fire event?

No doubt the USA contingent would have used a variant from the High Standard range, but what other brands / models were also used?

Can't find rapid, it seems they shot centrefire.
There's an even older video somewhere for rapid.
