The 1910 FN Browning Pistol Also Known as the New Model Browning. Development edit FN Model 1910 of the Gendarmerie of Vaud, on display at Morges castle museum Browning M 1910 disassembled The FN Model 1910, also known as the Browning model 1910, was a departure for Browning. Before, his designs were produced by both FN in Europe and Colt Firearms in the United States. Since Colt did not want to produce it, Browning chose to patent and produce this design in Europe only. Introduced in 1910, this pistol used a novel operating spring location surrounding the barrel. This location became the standard in such future weapons as the Walther PPK and Russian Makarov. It incorporated the standard Browning striker-firing mechanism and a grip safety along with a magazine safety and an external safety lever (known as the triple safety) in a compact package. Offered in both.380 ACP (6-round magazine) and.32 ACP (7-round magazine) calibres, it remained in production until 1983. It is possible to switch calibres by changing only the barrel. However, FN never offered packages containing a single pistol with both calibre barrels. Variants edit FN Model 1922 7.65mm A variant of the Model 1910 was known variously as the Model 1922 or 191022.
