1907 Savage 32 pocket pistol semi auto

1907 Savage 32 semi auto pocket pistol

The savage model  1907 .32 ACP pistol was Savage Arms Company of Utica, New York, from 1907 until 1920 in .32 ACP and from 1913 until 1920 in .380 ACP caliber. About 200 of them were produced in a .45 version and submitted to the Army to compete for the request for designs that ended up with the Colt 1911 being chosen. 

  The 1907 was mainly sold as a personal and home defense weapon and was even endorsed by Buffalo Bill Cody in an advertising campaign. The gun featured a double stack 10 round magazine one of the first of its kind. The 1907 .32 version was used produced under contract for French and Portuguese military during WWI.

Designer: Elbert Searle   Caliber: .32 ACP (7.65x17)

A comparison of rifle ammunition Calibers used in WWI & WWII

We know in the USA bigger is better! Theses are the standard military calibers used by the U.S.,Germany,Russia, And Italy with the 30/06 being the largest. The 8mm Mauser was very close in size the Italians tried to convert to a larger cartridge for the Carcano (7.35x51)  but it proved to be logistically too hard to supply two calibers to transition during wartime. Of course the Russian 7.62x54 was also a very respectable round.

.950 JDJ Worlds Largest "Sporting" Bullet

As its name implies, rifles chambered for the cartridge have a bore diameter of 0.950 in (24.1 mm), which would normally classify them as Destructive Devices in the United States However, SSK sought and received a "Sporting Use Exception" to de-regulate the rifles, meaning they can be purchased like any other Title I rifle by a person over age 18 with no felonies on their criminal record.
