Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Model 1902 Military is a historically significant semi-automatic pistol designed by John Browning and produced by Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company in the early 20th century. Chambered in .38 ACP, this pistol represents an evolutionary step in Browning’s early semi-automatic designs and serves as a direct successor to the Colt M1900. While mechanically similar to its predecessor, the 1902 Military model featured several key improvements, including a lengthened square butt grip frame that allowed for an additional round in the magazine—bringing the total to eight—and provided a more stable shooting platform. The pistol also adopted a 6-inch barrel with fixed sights, offering improved sight radius and accuracy for its time.

The 1902 Military’s construction includes a blued finish and checkered black gutta percha grips, adorned with the classic Colt logo, giving it a period-correct appearance and a firm hold. Like other early Browning designs, it uses a short-recoil, locked-breech action, which was innovative at the time and laid the groundwork for many future military and civilian sidearms. The Military variant also differs from the similar 1902 Sporting model by featuring a slide stop and a lanyard loop at the base of the grip—features intended for service use. While the 1902 Military was never officially adopted by the U.S. Army, it was tested and used in limited capacities, and it played an influential role in the eventual development of the famed Colt M1911. Today, the 1902 Military stands as a collectible and historically significant example of the rapid advancement in handgun design at the dawn of the 20th century.
