History

Production of the weapon began in 1902. It was a major improvement from the M1900 pistol. In Europe, it became a favorite of police forces, including those of Belgium, Turkey, Sweden, the Netherlands and Russia. It was manufactured in Sweden under license at Husqvarna Vapenfabriks from 1917 and until 1942, as the 9mm M/1907. In the USA, the pistol became popular as a civilian self-defense pistol, and also was issued to the senior army officers and generals as a standard self-defense weapon. FN built slightly less than 60,000 pistols, plus Husqvarna built another 94,000 pistols. This pistol can be called as a forerunner of most semi-automatic pistols in the world, in one or another respect. Significantly underpowered by modern standards, it was, however, reliable, accurate and comfortable to carry and fire. It also offered much faster reloading procedure than any of contemporary military revolvers. 1902 (MCMII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ...
