Model 1909


History:

In 1909 Clement put a new designed pistol on the market again. The gun world praised the "revolutionary" and "ingenious" construction of it. This was due to the possibility of quick and easy stripping without tools. For that reason one only had to pull out the trigger guard from the handle to open the tight connection between barrel block and receiver. The upper part including barrel and mainspring then was tipped up. If the small lever, situated at the lower end of the grip partly below the grip plate, was turned, the the spring case was moving out.
The new model was available with black hard rubber grips or wooden grips. Types with longer barrel for the Austria-Hungarian market were produced too.
The pistol sold good and was very popular, production lasted just a few years however , when, after the death of the company's chief Clement, the production ended.
Numbers produced are not reported.
