FN Model 1910

Small Arms And Sidearms

The FN Model 1910 is a blowback operated semi-automatic pistol designed by John Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale in Belgium from 1910, chambered in .380 ACP or .32 ACP. Its operating spring, wrapped around the barrel rather than mounted separately, was a novel arrangement later adopted by influential designs such as the Walther PPK and the Makarov PM. Produced until 1983, it saw use in the First World War, the Chaco War, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, the 1958 Lebanon crisis and the Lebanese Civil War.
