Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The FN Browning Model 1910 is a semi-automatic pistol designed by John Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale of Belgium. Introduced in 1910, this pistol used a unique operating spring location surrounding the barrel. This location became the standard in such future weapons as the Walther PPK and Russian Makarov. While the Model 1910 was widely sold to both civilian and military markets, it was explicitly considered a military and police pistol. It was popular in the Spy Services and was used for a number of assassinations.
The spark that ignited the fuse leading to World War I was the assassination of the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on June 28, 1914, in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo by 19-year-old Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip. The weapon he used was a six-shot FN Model 1910 Browning chambered in .380 ACP.
This gun was John Browning’s most advanced pocket pistol to date when he presented it to Colt, but they passed on the new patent. Colt was already making a lot of money with the Browning-designed Model 1903 and 1908 and his new pistol didn’t seem to offer enough to sidetrack a top seller already in full production.
Instead, Browning sold it to Fabrique Nationale (FN) and it was hugely successful in Europe, remaining in production over 70 years. It was mainly a civilian firearm, but also saw wide use by police agencies and military forces around the globe. It was eventually exported to America as the .380 ACP Browning Model 1955 from the mid-1950s until the Gun Control Act of 1968 proscribed it.
