I paid 95.00 bucks for the Model 1907, another 100 bucks for the barrel and 150.00 for new sights. For a .350.00 and change no paperwork 100 year old auto pistol it works pretty well! Even brought along some Factory 9 Browning Long made for the Husqvarna Model 1907. My .380's are on the light side for plinking, 3.5-3.7Grs of Unique with the listed bullets. In the 9 Largo cases cut down to head space on the case mouth (20.85 +-.2) I loaded 95, 100, 102 and 110 Gr bullets in both .355 and .356 diameter. 88-90 are too light to function reliably in the Husqvarna Model 1907 with the .380 barrel and recoil spring installed with 3.5-3.7Grs of Unique. The heavier bullets work fine. In .380 average velocity was 951 fps. 9 Largo with 5 grs of Unique were 1129 fps. factory 9 Browning Longs were at 1164 fps with empties ejecting 20 or more feet away to the 3-4 o'clock position. The .380's eject into a nice little pile at about the 1-2 o'clock position maybe 5-6 feet away. The Largo's went about 3 o'clock and maybe 6-8 ft. away.<br />Neat old Pistol. My 9 Largo cases function 100% and accuracy at 7 yds unsupported was about 2". .380's seated a little longer than normal shoot about the same. .380's seated to function in any .380 pistol seem to shoot low and about double the group size.<br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/Husqvarna%20Model%201907%202_zpsynlqgonr.jpg[/IMG]<br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/.380%20Average%20of%20of%20M-07_zpsnklwyvq2.jpg[/IMG]<br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/Cut%20Down%209%20largo%20cases%205%20grs%20Unique_zpsff7hthaf.jpg[/IMG]<br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/9%20Browing%20Long%20Average%20fps_zpsnfdoxfv6.jpg[/IMG]<br /><br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/.356%20110Gr%20JHP%20trimmed%20Largo%20Cases%201_zpsbhq4sznq.jpg[/IMG]<br /><br />[IMG]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag55/DSKERMES/.356%20110Gr%20JHP%20trimmed%20Largo%20Cases%202_zpsw5o6oop1.jpg[/IMG]Sgt.Stiglitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04189783509812581880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-87540315674935000522016-07-11T10:39:25.537-05:002016-07-11T10:39:25.537-05:00

I took some beginners safety classes and now I am hooked. Cant stay out of the gun range.<br />Mine is a Tor Thursson/Helgekoltoff who are both posted as 2 of the 20 inspectors they had in Sweden. Infantry Regiment. This gun was made before the legal implications of using the Browning patent statement in the type 2 text and states System Browning. Along with the Crown of Sweden.<br />I am a 60 year old woman and I find this gun to be easy to handle, very little kick, well balanced and a good size for CHL. Not that this is a womans gun, but after a few lessons I am very comfortable with it. Excellent for in home defense for a woman alone. There is no mistaking the sound of that slide locking into place. I thank my beloved Father in law for such a fine piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503413119047024142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-61347340670211786152016-06-08T15:52:52.517-05:002016-06-08T15:52:52.517-05:00Love mine and the price was right...........have s...Love mine and the price was right...........have several .380's and reload for it.

It also has I 23 No 173 on it. Does anyone know about when this was manufactured? It is in good condition and they are asking $800. Is this a fair price?

I have been a fan of the '03 and '08 Colt's for some time and their FN eqivalents. FN pistols of this vintage are all lovely and, while I like the concealed hammer design of these firearms, I like the look of the FN 1910 and 1922 pistols, if not their striker-fired actions.<br /><br />There was some discussion about carrying surplus pistols as defensive weapons. I carried an FN 1922 in .32ACP loaded with WW Silvertips, with which it functioned flawlessly, for a time, since it was what I had that lent itself to concealed carry.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13886139062535677885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31185777.post-17197571195599521812014-06-18T08:56:19.478-05:002014-06-18T08:56:19.478-05:00That is a cool gun, and one I had never heard of b...That is a cool gun, and one I had never heard of before. Thanks for posting about it.<br /><br />I always considered the form factor of the 1903 to be the perfect concealment form. If someone was able to modernize the 1903 (or this 1907) into a locked breach 9mm and keep the same dimensions and rounded form, it would be the ultimate CHL gun for IWB. Full power, thin, full grip, no pokey sharp corners... That Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134214171521657699noreply@blogger.com
