    Something from Murica.




    Savage model 1907, This ones from 1910, .32acp using a nifty 10rd magazine .
    very cool' design that "utilizes" the "Torque" of the bullet to unlock the barrel OR so they said.


    All the mechanics are within the bolt/striker assembly using a simple transfer bar from the trigger.

    This design ran in the US Army trials up against the 1911 , issue was all they did was upscale everything to a .45acp . The bolt design doesn't lend itself too much to filthy combat conditions + chance to lose small parts on field stripping in the field.

    Savage didn't lose out as places like Portugal cashed in on the design . They made it in .380 as well.


    Pretty cool find as it's my first WWI era .32 auto. Remember, wasn't about stopping/knockdown power at the time. It was all about status.

    Cool little pistol.

    I wouldn't feel unarmed with a .32 back then as long as it was reliable. Although I would personally prefer .380 if I lived back then and wanted to carry it.

    How big is it? Is it full size of more of a compact pistol? Pretty cool. Where did you find it?

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!

    Locally, full size grip , size I'd say around the same range as a Walther PP.

    Nice. Strangely this gun has sort of a Buck Rogers look to it IMHO.

    Well that's something different. Looks like a kids water pistol.
