Browning 1922 Shoot Field Strip
Browning 1922 Shoot Field Strip Clean and Reassemble
John Browning 1910 & 1922 design was an early contender. This was a blowback semiautomatic design chambered for the .32 ACP or .380 ACP. It had no external hammer, and was a popular gun in Europe, quite similar to the Colt-manufactured Model 1903 pocket pistol. The Model 1910 was somewhat famous (or notorious) for setting off World War I in 1914. It was used in the assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie. Some selling points were its lower price, and the fact that it could chamber the Serbs’ large stocks of 9mm Short (.380) cartridges. However, that gun was considered to be lacking in accuracy, and the Kingdom thought that a similar pistol incorporating a longer barrel would make for more precise shooting. FN really needed more business at that time, and was very interested in satisfying this potential customer. Accordingly, knowing that the newly-formed Kingdom could not afford new development costs and tooling, FN figured out an economical way to lengthen the slide and barrel of the Model 1910 without materially increasing production costs. The solution was a forged extension cap on the slide that could accommodate a longer barrel. A number of prototypes were crafted and tested between 1921 and 1922. Experimentation was carried out with longer grip frames giving increased ammunition capacity. What resulted and became officially adopted was the Model 1922, and it was to become an extremely popular gun in many countries around the world. This model became the European handgun for several decades. It was selected as a standard military pistol not only with Yugoslavia, but also with Holland, Greece, Finland, Turkey, Romania, France, Denmark, and most notably, Nazi Germany. It was manufactured by FN until the early 1980s, and a modified version was imported by the Browning Firearms Company into the United States in the post-war years.
