Schüler Reform is a German mechanical repeating pistol created by August Schüler of Suhl. It was patented in 1906 and manufactured from 1907 until 1910 or 1914 (sources vary).

Spent cartridges are ejected without the use of an extractor or ejector but with the gas pressure in the barrel that is enough to blow the cartridge out the back of the magazine (except for the spent brass from bottom barrel that has to be manually removed). In order to reload the pistol, the barrel block must be removed, chambers loaded one by one, and then the barrel block is pressed down like a clip.
