I just shot one of these today, in .380 Auto, it had "Browning" grips which makes it the 1955 model, i think.
Being a small pistol, it is a little uncomfortable to shoot. Not a big deal, but convincing a woman to keep practicing with it will be tough. My wife and her mom prefer the 1911 .45 over this thing.
However, I must say this thing is impressively accurate for its size. It shoot groups similar to many full-size pistols, and seems pretty zeroed.
Technically, both m 1910 and m 1922 (also known as model 1910/22), are blowback operated semi-automatic pistols. The recoil spring is located around the barrel, the trigger is of single action type and the gun is striker-fired. Both models featured three safeties - magazine safety (which blocks the firing when magazine is removed), automatic grip safety and manual, frame mounted safety.
Between two World Wars these pistols became very popular across Europe as a police, military and self-defence guns. It is well-known also that the First World War was started by the Browning m1910 pistos, which had been used in 1914 to assasinate the Archduke Ferdinand.
Both models 1910 and 1922 were manufactured in large quantities until 1983 or so, when these guns were replaced by FN model 140DA / Browning BDA380 pistols. In the USA both model 1910 and model 1922 were imported under the name of "Browning 380 pistol", chambered in .380ACP. After the 1971, these guns have had ajustable target-type sights and slightly enlarged grips to suit new US gun laws.
In 1922, Browning modified the original pistol to suit requirements of the Jugoslavian military - he lenghtened barrel, enlarged the grip and magazine capacity by two rounds. The slide was lenghtened by adding removable frontal portion to the model 1910 slide.
Model 1910 pistol had been developed by John M. Browning for Belgian company Fabrique Nationale (FN), Herstal. Model 1910 had been developed around two cartridges, also designed by Browning - the 7.65mm Browning, also known as .32ACP, which had been developed around 1900 for FN / Browning model 1900 pistol, and the 9mm Browning Short (9x17mm), also known as .380ACP, which, in turn, had been developed about 1908 for Colt / Browning model 1908 pistol.
Does that 1910 have wooden grips? Mine does as well and it confused me for a long time. All of the 1910s that I have seen have a sort of plastic grip with FN, and all of the 1922s that I have saw have wooden handles.
I can't really tell, but if you gun has wooden handle grips do you know why?
wooooooooow thts so nice u look like an expert , brother i went wrong trying to dismantle it , i actually opened and took out the pin that actually helps the trigger to pull firing pin , how can i fix it back ???? plz help me
Thank you for such a clear, and well explained process. I have had no luck getting the correct literature for my gun, and your video was a lifesaver. Thank you again - I'm sorry I could not give you six stars!
