Savage Model 1907 Automatic Handgun

The Savage Arms Company is well known for the production of rifles and shotguns, but they also made semi-automatic pistols prior to World War 1. I've got a Savage Model 1907. The magazine release is on the bottom front of the grip. You press it with your finger and pull the magazine out with your thumb. There's no magazine safety, which allows the pistol to fire with the magazine removed. This is a single-action design with an exposed hammer. The hammer spring is very strong and requires the use of two hands to cock. The unusual double-stack magazine holds 10 rounds. The slide doesn't lock back after the last shot, requiring that it be cycled to chamber a round from a fresh magazine. The thumb safety doubles as a slide stop. It has a 3 3/4-inch barrel with fixed sights. Savage made this model from 1907 and 1915. This one's chambered for 32 ACP, but they also made them in 380 ACP. Field stripping is pretty straightforward. For a demonstration, be sure to check out the video above.
