I have one, but it's in rough shape. I'm not going to shoot it until I have it checked out first.

sorry.. the m1907 pistol I guess is what it is called.

I used to have one, but I never shot it. The design makes you thank god for John Browning.

just don't break it open when it's loaded..

I have had two. Though they are rather funny looking pistols, they shot well and hit the target. In order for them to work properly, the mag must be in excellent condition and all of the parts must be checked out.

As a follow up to the above comment; if the pistol is cocked and a round is in the chamber, opening up the top will cause the firing pin to slip off the sear and the pistol will fire.

yup! first time I took one down I noticed how that worked and thought.. wow.. what a interesting 'feature'

When new, they would not open if cocked. More than half of them have been bent into submission. They made a neat takedown tool that doubles as a cleaning rod. Magazines kinda interchange with Browning 1900 magazines. Max

i've got a few examples.. one near mint.. ( ok.. maybee very good? )I can assure you it can be opened cocked..

while it could be damaged.. it looks nice enoiught that it may have been fired only a handfull of times. doesn't even look carried much.. extremy light holster wear, and wear on hand contact parts.

i have a feeling there may be spring strength issues though due to age perhaps contribuiting to the issue. ( maybee? )
