Design It was designed for early blowback semi-automatic pistols which lacked a barrel locking mechanism; the relatively low power of the .32 ACP round made it a practical blowback round.

(Although the M1910 was widely available in both 380 ACP (9x17mm, 9mm Kurz) and 32 ACP (7.65mm Browning) versions, it was the less-expensive and lower-powered 7.65mm Browning (32 ACP) version that was used for the assassination by Gavrilo Princip. For many years, it was believed that Princip had used a 380 ACP version of the M1910. This was discovered to be an error when Princip's 32 ACP pistol was rediscovered in 2004.) [1],[2] The . ...
