I have a chance to pick what I think in a model 1915 Savage 10 shot 32acp. Anyone own one/ how do they shoot? From what I gather the one I am looking at is rather rare.

A friend of mine has a Savage 32 that looks like the one in your photo. Double stack magazine if I recall correctly. His Savage had rudimentary sights but shot well. I wish I owned one.

That is just a pic I pulled off the net. The one I am looking at has some pitting at the muzzle but really not anything else wrong with it. The rear cocking piece is enclosed so I think it's a 1915 of which the only made about 7000. Anyone else feel free to chime in please

Go get it. It is a very underappreciated firearm. I wish the US Army would have adopted the 45 version.
Great guns. Low bore axis. 10 shots. Very reliable The only thing to watch out for if you take is apart is the sear. They are somewhat soft and are easy to bend. I would carry one without hesitation. |

That Savage is a wonderful pistol and one of only a handful that utilize a locked breech which improves bullet penetration. The double stack 10 round magazine works with with design and the grip is small enough for the smaller hands of some women. I have had mine for about 40 years and still no malfunctions. It is a quality design and quality manufactured pistol.

I had one Savage 1917 in .380 ACP for about a decade. It had been parkerized before I got and handled well. I remember getting a spare mag from Tom Forrest. This was back in the late 80s.

If the price was reasonable I would buy it. I have a Savage 1917 in.32 acp and it is a great gun.

However, the delay in a locked breech design does spread the recoil over a longer time interval and makes a locked breech design more pleasant to shoot in any given comparison where pistol weight and cartridge are similar. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
In a blow back pistol the bullet has left the muzzle before the case unseals from the chamber, due to the mass and inertia of the slide - that's what keeps them safe to shoot. As such there isn't any pressure or velocity advantage in the locked breech design compared to a blow back design. However, the delay in a locked breech design does spread the recoil over a longer time interval and makes a locked breech design more pleasant to shoot in any given comparison where pistol weight and cartridge are similar.

Test report  The SIG 226 is a locked breech pistol just as much as the Bond Arms/Boberg.

I might pick up since it has sat in the shop for months. I might be able to get it for $300 to $325. I also found that. triple K makes 7 round mags. I guess they don't use the factory design.
