Weren't you the one complaining about how small pocket pistols were?


Edit: the slide mass is necessary. It's a blowback design in a 9 mm caliber on the lower spectrum of the 9 Luger. Either that or extra stiff springs.

Just the FN 1900. I like the Astra & Savage 32ACP's I have.

Good looking pistol and I love that leather holster.

The pistol looks almost identical to my 1938 Tokarev TT33, a Fedor Tokarev copy of John Browning's original FN version.

That's probably not a coincidence. Imperial Russia ordered some 11.0000 1903 from Browning for police use... And they were fitted with shoulder stocks.

So the outward looks were familiar to them and maybe well liked.
Mechanically Tokarevs were quite different, much more similar to the 1911 design.

Nah! Not just the FN 1900. You also wrote something about the Walther pp/ppk series, if I remember correctly.

Well, when I first held a Colt 1903 I was also surprised because it was so small. I guess Bogey had smallish hands.

Anyways, I ended up not buying that Colt not because of its size, but because it only looked good on the left side . Still waiting for the right one to come my way.

About the Savage. I also got one, it's from the Portuguese contract (with lanyard ring and loaded chamber indicator), it was refinished but I don't care. It's a backup (back back backup ) for my Lugers in our former service pistols shooting competition.

You are right! I do prefer the longer PP. But I don't own either one.

Mine is the Model 1910. My LGS had a Model 1917 for a while, but I was not tempted. The grip was too extreme...

I'm looking at mine right now, trying to figure out where a LCI would be...

Just look at the ejection port of mine.

You don't need to do it! Just go after a Colt Pocket Model 1908 in .380 ACP which is essentially the same gun.

With a milder caliber.
