A buddy of mine, with much prodding by me, got one of these...
A Husqvarna m/07! A licensed copy of the FN/Browning model 1903. This one has been rebarreled from 9x20mmSR to the far more common .380 ACP. It's like a long-slide version of the Colt Pocket Hammerless. 
Took it to the range and it shoots rather well. 
Especially since the sights are tiny, and I am going blind. But that's an acceptable 7 yard group, I think, with such sights. |

That is really cool! One of those 1903s are one of my grail guns.

Picked one up a few years ago to go with my Swedish rifles. The finish on yours looks very nice.
Mine came in .380, I was able to find a NOS 9mm Browning Long Barrel and a supplier where I picked up a few thousand 9mm long rounds pretty cheap. Fun to shoot, but the sights are pretty small. There is also a company that makes reproduction grips, one of mine was cracked too. Midway used to carry them, still might. Enjoy! |

Quote HistoryThey make one for a Colt 1903, not the FN-Browning 1903. |

My bad, try Midway or Vintage gun grips, I have a 1903/08 that recently cracked at the screw hole and to say I was a bit disappointed is an under statement.
Midway Vintage Gun Grips 
These are actually very nice small striker fired pistols, the above is the 380 verision |

There's a hammer in there.
I've got a Colt 1908 in .380; pictured above in fact. Cracked at the screw hole too! Numrich has several choices for the Colts, I'm thinking the walnut. Midway has the Swedes! I'll tell my bud. |

But that's an acceptable 7 yard group, I think, with such sights. Had the same pistol in 380 a few years back. The weight combined with the 380 round made shooting it feel like a pop gun 
First mag I ran through it at 7 yards had a group I could cover with a 50 cent piece. I hate to say it, one of the best shooting handguns I have ever owned, wish I hadn't sold it when cash got short
