It is possible to switch calibres by changing only the barrel. 32 ACP (7-round magazine) calibres, it remained in production until 1983. It incorporated the standard Browning striker-firing mechanism and a grip safety along with a magazine safety and an external safety lever (known as the 'triple safety') in a compact package. This location became the standard in such future weapons as the Walther PPK and Russian Makarov.
Introduced in 1910, this pistol used a novel operating spring location surrounding the barrel. Since Colt did not want to produce it, Browning chose to patent and produce this design in Europe only. Before, his designs were produced by both FN in Europe and Colt Firearms in the United States. The FN Model 1910, also known as the Browning model 1910, was a departure for Browning. The FN Model 1910 is a blowback-operated, semi-automatic pistol designed by John Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium.ĭevelopment FN Model 1910 of the Gendarmerie of Vaud, on display at Morges castle museum Browning M 1910 disassembled
