I just got a Browning FN 1910-22 in .32 ACP with WaA. This is a gun that somehow isn't seen that often here. I will try it out this week end.

I own a Greek Police stamped 1922 in .380. I enjoy shooting it and it is easy to replace broken springs on.

I had no springs broken, yet. It is a fairly easy to shoot pistol and the weight counters the little recoil that the .32 ACP causes. This is a pistol of traditional quality that its overlooked among the classics.

A nice civilian pistol with a German WWII pedigree. Nice.

Actually the 1910 was the civilian model, the 1910/22 was more designed as a holster gun for uniformed guys, from police to military. The 1910/22 served as a police gun after WWII for quite a while.

My father carried one like that with the Nazi proof marks for several years (like from the 70's to the 90's) He decided to have it nickel plated some time in the mid-nineties, so the collector value is probably shot, but it's a nice little pistol.

Somehow thee collector value is fairly low anyway, particularly when compared to a High Power with WaA or a Luger. Nevertheless, it's a neat little pistol that I enjoy having.

I like it

Are you considering any other similar era pistols like the Colt Pocket Hammerless, the FN1903, or maybe even the little semi-auto that Savage made?

the left one has the WaA 135 and the right one is my Zella Mehlis rimfire pistol. They are side by side for a comparison of the frames.

Oh yeah,

and then there are the "nines". Just a couple of examples from the collection I started lately.
