Savage Model 1907 Pistol
Cartridge: .32 ACP
Capacity: 10 rnds
Length: 6.5″
weight: 1.2 lbs
One of the stranger .32 pocket pistols, the
Savage 1907 was a false-hammer design with a
bullet-powered delayed blowback action. It was
also pretty revolutionary for its double stack
magazine.
We’re covering it today thanks to its service in
the French Army during WWI.

C&Rsenal releases their flagship series “Primer” every other week. It focuses on one firearm of the Great War at a time, in depth with animations, live fire demonstrations, and historical context! Our mission is to document and describe historical military small arms from across the world. We hope to share our love for all the attention that went into the design, development, manufacture, and issuance of these pieces.
