The Garcia-Reynoso was a revolver of Argentine origin, developed by captain Antonio García Reynoso. The weapon was chambered in the 7.8×30mm Reynoso round and featured automatic ejection.

The design was then acquired from Leige[clarification needed] and further developed by Henri Pieper.[1] Pieper then obtained a German patent, number 81930 of 27 May 1894.[2]
