Description:

WWII Nazi Issued FN Belgium Browning Model 1922 7.65mm Semi-Auto Pistol. John Browning had spent years at FN by the time he designed the Model 1910 pistol in 1907; this model was not just another Browning invention, it was specifically designed for FN and its production capabilities. Browning knew how labor-intensive the FN Model 1900 was to produce and designed the Model 1910 as part of an interchangeable-parts platform based on the FN Model 1905 (1906) Vest Pocket. Not only did the Model 1905 (1906) and Model 1910 share parts, both models used the same machinery in manufacturing. The famous “Triple Safety” (grip, slide and magazine safeties) had been conceived by John Browning, FN and the Belgian inventor Georges Vander Haeghen. It was revolutionary for pocket pistols and a great marketing tool. FN’s biggest asset of the Model 1910 was the ability to offer the gun in two chamberings simply by interchanging the barrel. Internally, FN management and John Browning referred to it as the “pistol with two barrels,” and Browning already envisioned military sales in 1909 with a longer barrel. He also invented the 9 mm Short cartridge for the FN Model 1910 interchangeable-barrel platform; this information is not widely known, as the cartridge became a commercial success as the .380 ACP long before the Model 1910 was released in 1912. Cartridge flexibility and production commonalities resulted in substantial savings. Expanding on Browning’s platform was the way FN could develop the Model 1922 within the kingdom’s budget. Initially, a longer barrel and slide were mounted on a Model 1910 frame, but this proved to be unsatisfactory. A multitude of prototypes were made with various slide, frame, magazine and barrel-lug dimensions. Ultimately, the commission opted for an extended frame and magazine holding two additional rounds and a 25 mm (1") longer barrel with a slide and barrel cap configuration with raised sights. The result became the FN Model 1922: a simple, reliable, safe and affordable striker-fired Browning pistol that retained all the mechanical aspects of the proven Model 1910.
