Picked up both the Savage 1907 (mfd 1910) pistol and the Smith & Wesson .32 Safety Hammerless (mfd. 1900) at the same auction for a combined total of $375.00. There was no interest in either handgun so I snagged them. They are both in excellent shape and though their finishes show a little wear we should all hope to look so good at 109 and 119 years of age. I've replaced the recoil spring in the Savage (Wolff springs) and have taken it to the range. It burned through an entire box of 32 auto (10 round magazine) without any hiccups.

3I have a Savage 1907, it's a cool old gun. Mine did go full auto on my wife once though, I'm fairly certain it was due to not being cleaned and oil as thoroughly as it should be and the design of the striker/firing pin mechanism.

6After I got the Savage I was reading up on it and I found a couple sources that mentioned the 1907 will do that sometimes. Nevertheless I have wanted one since I saw "Road to Perdition".offensivename wrote: Wed Sep 25, 2019 8:36 pm I have a Savage 1907, it's a cool old gun.
