FN Model 1910 32 ACP Gun Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ต.ค. 2023
- The FN Model 1910 was produced from 1910 to 1983 in .380 and 32 ACP. It has been used with military and police agencies all over the world but has an amazing place in history for being the choice of a number of assassins. Thanks to our Patreon family for their support in purchasing the pistol. #FNModel1910 #WWI #browning

My vote is to do more videos on these older guns. I really enjoy them the best.
Thanks Audie!
I second that motion.

I had a lucky find of getting one for less than $100 at a local pawn shop. The pistol was in pieces thrown in a box with a red tag that said "broken, $110", but I knew enough about the gun to know that what i was being told was broken wasn't (RSA). There is no RSA with this design it uses the barrel to guid the recoil sping, and both looked fine. I did notice that it was missing the barrel nut/barrel bushing, aside from that it appeared to me to be in good condition. I talked him down to $80 and started a background check. The shop owner said i would need to sign a safty waiver when i told him i was going to fix, and fire the pistol. Before the background check was back i had put the little pistol back together, only slowed down by the safty/striker mechanics. Shop owner seen that i had it together all except for the barrel bushing that was in fact missing and he said i "got him!" Turns out i got him good. The pistol is possibly a late first year production, probably an early second year production, at least from research i have done, and what the old timers on gunboards have told me. This is mainly do to my pistol having only a 4 digit serial #! Even the second year production pistol that killed Archduke Ferdinand is a 5 digit serial # pistol. Mine is in great condition, has never jammed, and after $35 for a new barrel nut i have just a little over $100 in it!
I even still have the red "broken" tag that was on it because i knew my buddies wouldn't believe me about the story lol. And the shop owner didn't make me sign the insurance waiver in the end.
I'm from Belgium, here they cost between 100 and 300 euros and you can easily find them.
Excellent!
FN 1910s, Schipperkes and beer, the things that make Belgium great!
breng er mij maar 5 voor 100euro/stuk
@robinsonck thats not true im from Belgium to its not that cheap
Really? I wish i could have one
I watched this first on Patreon and then again on YT. What a beautiful pistol and great history lesson. You went so in-depth and I appreciate that. The most amazing thing to me is that these pistols were so finely-crafted that they still shoot great today!
I remember my dad having that same FM model. We used to go shooting at a range.
This is FN
I have the 1922 FN with Nazi markings. Replaced the springs and had to get a reproduction mag. It’s great to own this alongside my 1940 Mauser made Luger my dad brought home from WWII.
I have the model 1922 too, from my grandfather. He was a sheriff from 1948 - 1970...not sure how he acquired it. I used it in my early concealed carry days, back in the late 90s. Not ideal, but I was a young dad at the time, working a late-night pizza delivery gig.
I've got an FN 1922 in .32 ACP that my grandpa passed onto me. Longer than the 1910, but otherwise the same gun. It's superb!! Very first .32 pistol I ever shot.
Took it out to the range a few months back. Put 100 rounds of Norma 73 grain FMJ .32s with zero malfunctions.
I love those old metal guns.
The FN M1910 that was used to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand is on display at the museum of military history in Vienna, Austria. They also have the car he was riding in (with bullet holes) and the blood stained uniform he was wearing. I've been to the museum myself and can highly recommend it if you ever visit Vienna.
To think what chain of events that single moment started...
This video makes me wish I bought the one I saw at the gun shop a couple of years back that was in .380
It's amazing the fine machine work they could accomplish over 100 years ago with no computers or CNC .
Machinists were highly trained professionals. My bro made 4 years practiceship in precision mecanic in the late 70, before CNC. These guys were cosidered the aristocracy of blue collars.
I have this one inherited from my Grand dad.
Thank you! I own one. Brought back from WW2 by my uncle who was in the 3rd. Army. Given to my Father and now mine. The beauty of this pistol is the side safety. I can carry this pistol chambered. It is extremely fast. I will never carry a Glock chambered. Next up , double action autos... I am comfortable carrying these, the only drawback is the hammer and trigger pull. Funny how this safety on the side of the Browning was never incorporated in modern pistols. I do own a Browning 22 Target Pistol that has the side thumb safety. Circa 1976. Thanks!
Love the old school firearm videos Sootch--keep 'em coming!
The one that killed Archduke Ferdinand was a 380
Yes. I think Sootch00 was referring to the 1910 model, not the caliber. But good point!
Looks like you’re missing a part - the “Firing Pin Spring Follower / Guide” that fits into the back of the firing pin spring. Great video!
I love watching reviews only old guns. It does not hurt to know a little history. And I learned something in the process, By watching this review
Someone just gifted me one of these that came from a hoarding house. It must have been in the garage there for 20-30 years, at least. It's a Browning model made in Belgium. There's just a speck of rust on the slide and a tiny bit on the frame, other than that it looks new almost. There was 1 mag and it has some rust. I haven't brought it to the range yet. I did clean it and oil it really well. Might take it there next weekend and see what happens.
Thank you sir, I truly enjoy your channels content. God bless! 🙏🏽🇺🇸
Thanks Brother!
@@sootch00 you're welcome my brother!
Looks similar to the ortgies , like those and the FN pistols 👍💯
Appreciate you sharing the pistol and the history.
Sootch, have you ever shot a Savage model 1907? If you like the FN you should like the Savage. It is an unique gun and fun to shoot. I have a couple of them and like shooting them.
My favorite FN 1910 Is the dutch contract!
Excelente pistola ,tengo una y es muy confiable 👍
I can see how that gun influenced the Astra models a few years later.
That was carried by James Bond in Dr. No
Nice pistol. Thanks for the video.
Gavrilo Princip. Princip was the man who intentionally shot and killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Yes he used an FN 1910 - .380 ACP caliber was what I read. Actually the gun had very little choice in the matter.
What is commonly called the 'Baby Browning" first saw light as the FN (Fabrique Nationale) 1931. It was an updated version of the FN 1906 pistol. It was NOT referred to as a 'Browning' with Browning markings and such until roughly 1955 when the Browning Corporation (of John M. Browning's work) began selling guns. The same is true of the Browning High-Power and the shotguns. Prior to that time all the Browning designs sold in the United States were made and marketed by Colt.
In my FN 1910 made in 1951, sellier y bellot ammo 73 graon, clocks 1000-1020 fps
You're missing the guide pin at the rear of the firing pin spring.
Ok so does it have an internal hammer or it's striker fired?
Funny the timing on this as I've recently been in the market for a 1910. I have the 10/71 but would like the older original variant. Thanks for posting this review.
It's Fujiko Mine's favorite gun
A friend has one in .32acp and he has a barrel for the .380 which he said used the same mag. as the .32. He knows quite a bit about these little pistols.
Old guns are best they work...
My Colt 1908 Vest Pocket is my favorite fun gun.
I love this
Fun and interesting vidro! Thank you brother! Growing up it was one of many surplus arms to come through our home. Dad particularly enjoyed small automatics. 😊
God bless all here.
Awesome video nice gun thanks for sharing sootch00
My favorite pocket pistol finally gets some love!
Can't beat a classic!
One of those (FN 1910) was stolen from my house in July (my safe was bolted to the floor and they used something to pry it loose). If you see the gun turn up for sale in SW Missouri or NW Arkansas, please call the police. The left grip panel is broken and the serial number is 345748.
The same thief also stole a Taurus Millenium Pro 32, Savage 1905, CZ P-07 and P-09, Zastava M70, Ruger LCP 22, and a Kel-tec p32. The Kel-tec is grey with a black slide, is in a brown leather Bullseye holster and has a steel guide rod. It has been in the holster so long the leather has miscolored the gun. The burglars names were Skyler Isaacs and Devon Schouten. They sold the FN, Savage and Taurus to a latino named Benjin who has since sold them to someone else.
I had one of these years ago and couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn with it !!! Seemed quality but not my cup of tea !
This little guy caused the biggest war in the history of Europe at the time.
Thanks for another excellent review! I'll have to look for one, to compliment my Baby Browning.
I'm a sucker for those old guns. I have quite a few in my safes. They're my fun guns.
I have the Browning Model 1955 version of this. It shoots well and doesn't jam, but the sights are very small.
I have one made in 1958 I considered that a great find. I do see them at gun shows but really high priced
@11:36 Fiocchi makes some of the best .32 ACP…very high quality, but it’s getting harder to find . Whenever I see it , I purchase for my Colt 1903 pistol.

Dude has a 380. Can tell via the bore. The .380 version did all three in. Colt didn't need to produce it. They had the 1908 Pocket Hammerless in .380
The disassembly of it is a pain with slippery fingers. I’m sure they had to have made a long forgotten tool
I inherited a Spanish copy by Bufalo, made in 1919. Of course, I had to shoot it... one side of the grips broke, sadly. It was having some failures, even with a new mag, but now it's just a cool little piece of history.
Nice I like that one ..
“One day the great European War will come out of some damned foolish thing in the Balkans."
Otto von Bismarck tried to warn us.
Good vid, great info. Not everyone knows the background
2:32. I beg your pardon but this is STILL an elegant Pistol
Bought one of these, liked everything but grip angle and lack of a home for my pinky. Sold it, bought a lcp MAX, liked everything but the accuracy. Sold it, bought a Bersa Thunder Combat Plus. Liked everything but the reliability. Then I found a Remington Model 51 from 1919, which brought me back full circle.
So it took four different gun purchases to find something perfected 104 years ago. The ergonomics are the best I have felt on any handgun ever, everything is smooth, slick, solid steel, shaped strangely enough just like a human hand, including all the fingers and everything. It may be old, with tiny little sights, but it points as naturally as breathing.
It may only hold eight rounds, but it is reliable enough to feed a broad spectrum of loads, and put them in a hand sized group at 7yds. It is light enough to carry all day without noticing. Just a perfect little pocket pistol.
The 1910 and Model 51 were direct competitors, but the Browning design proved more popular than the Pederson, which I cannot really understand. Seems like the best kept secret in firearms history.
the founding fathers said we're all equal.
Browning made it true.
🇺🇸
I had one of these many years a go.. I used it as a backup when I was in uniform with the Houston Police Dept. I also carried it off duty and to court. In 1971 I sold it and purchased a Walther Model PP in 380 ACP. I still have the Walther and wished I had the Model 1910 back along with the Walther.
Correct me if im wrong. The only difference between the 32acp and 380 is the barrel . Uses the same mag. I slipped 380 in my 32 mag just to test fit and they fit. So im keeping an eye out for a 380 barrel. Spring could be different strength ?
that's wild that you could use the same magazine!
What a fantastic review and the fn so cool gun, but please tell me my dear friend what watch wear in your wrist??? Thanks my friend 👍

Прекрасный пистолет .Браунинг конечно несомненный гений
Did you know the man that shot archduke Ferdinand was funded and encouraged by the British Crown? The German fleet had begun to eclipse the power of the British fleet. The Crown wanted to fight the Germans sooner rather than later when the British navy might be outclassed. We put sanctions on Japan for similar reasons. They were building more powerful battleships than the USA. Those sanctions led to Japanese aggression.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Don't be ridiculous
Yes I truzt u
Please review Korth revolver /pistol.
Nighthawk custom .
Walther tph .
FN may have started it, but Colt 1911 ended it. Both of 'em.
Yeah, right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Strong 💪
By that line of thought, Colt lost Vietnam and Afghanistan
Excellent point : )
Both designed by the same man. Our lord and savoir John Moses Browning 😂🤣

What happened to the Lyman trigger gauge from Brownells?
Zamanının ve şimdinin en iyi 7/65i bana göre
It’s under spring tension *bushing goes flying* lol
The firing pin spring guide is missing, no problem at all..
Good gun...but some sinister.
Good job
Thanks Doc!
I’ve wanted a Browning/FN model 1910, to complement my Colt model 1903 pocket hammerless pistol.
However it’s actually kind of hard to find one in original configuration. Many 1910s were remanufactured as the FN Model 1910/1922 or 10/22. They have longer barrels and longer frames to be more of a full size duty pistol vs concealed detective pistol .
Classic and sexy lead delivery device.
I had fn 1910 32acp, nice pistol, 😅
Looks like a tiny handgun, pocket pistol?
Ria 5.0E?
Is the French MAB, a clone of this.FN 1910?😊
The MAB D with 9 bullets in 7,65 mm Browning
In 1933 to 1985
True. The French MAB C and D are FN 1910 copies.
No sight picture at all.
There is
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 Where?
@atumre4705 right there on the nowhere

What gun is gonna start WWIII? 😳😳😳
Avtomat Kalashnikova 47 or AKM ?
God Bless John Moses Browning.
You changed the title. Why?
But .32 isn't potent enought to kill anyone....
Lies.
Can swap barrel for a .380 acp easy, drop in installation.
Nonsense. More people are killed with .22 or than any other caliber.
Killed Hitler
exactly 😂
5:26 that’s because most police officers were damned awful shots and sloppy when it came to handling a firearm…as they still are today!
Nice video, lovely pistol, but what on earth was that pronunciation of Auschwitz? For such an infamous word, I've never heard another human being butcher the pronunciation quite like that.
Some politicians deserve something especially when I see Palestinians freely celebrating Hamas in New York.
A gun like that was used to kill Ferdinad and start WWW1.
You're correct; that was one of the main points of Sootch00's presentation.
I actually started WW1
Sorry
Believe 🙏
Started WWI which led to WWII to the Cold War to what we have now. A complete shit show.
Looks like a Walther model4
