Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1903, Colt introduced the Browning-designed Model 1903 Pocket Pistol, whose cartridge Colt rebaptized as the .32 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol). Flat, lightweight, and very user friendly, the Model 1903 was an instant hit on the American market. Seeing the acceptance of the Model 1903, Savage decided to enter the booming pocket-pistol market. So, in 1905, while some of Savage's engineers were working on the .45 pistol, others set about downsizing the design to handle the .32 ACP cartridge. The result was the Savage Model of the 1907 Automatic Pistol, and it introduced a number of unique features that set it apart from the other pocket pistols of the day. Besides the Searle breech system, the Model 1907 was the first pistol to feature a staggered-column magazine that held ten rounds of ammunition. Thus, it required a grip frame wider than the competition. The Searle breech system permitted the use of a lightweight slide, which pared the Model 1907's unloaded weight to a svelte 19 ounces, three less than the FN Model 1900 and 5 lighter than the Colt Model 1903. The Model 1907 hit the market in 1908, and despite its higher cost, it was the biggest-selling pocket pistol on the U.S. market between 1908 and the beginning of World War I.

In 1920, production of the Model 1907 ceased, and the last of the Savage pistols--the Model 1917--was introduced. It differed from earlier patterns in having a wider, flared grip frame that required the use of screws to hold the grip panels in place. It was available in both .32 and .380 caliber, with the former being the most popular. Pistol production at Savage ceased in 1928 with approximately 235,000 Model 1907 and 43,000 Model 1917 pistols having been manufactured.
