Today I am taking a look at Savage automatic pistols as a general group. Savage produced about a quarter million pistols in both .32 and .380 caliber, divided between the models 1907, 1915, and 1917.
What are the differences, and what was the timeline of their development? I'll go through all of this, and also some of Savage's memorable advertising and the basic disassembly process. This should answer all your questions about why some have hammers and some don't (actually, none of them have hammers, technically...) and what's up with those two different frame shapes.

I have a 1907 and a 1917 in 32. Both are fun little shooters! I knew an older gentleman who had owned a 1915 since the time he was a trombone player in his high school marching band. It seems that his father had worried about him traveling on the bus to the away games, and so bought him the Savage to carry in his trombone case! Imagine that now.

I inherited my fathers Savage which according to the video is probably the 1917 model. I greatly appreciated how to break down this weapon. It probably has been "80" years since it has been broken down to be cleaned. My father flew PBY Catalinas during WWII and I think so did this weapon.. I dumped oil in every possible crevice to get the gun to start moving! Finally I was able with the help of the video to break down the weapon. I will cherish this weapon and pass it on to my children.

Also picked up a blued Smith & Wesson 32 Safety Hammerless 1st Model for $175 at the same auction. Also in good shape. Great deals can still be found in the world of Forgotten Weapons. It just takes some hunting, patience.....and luck. Luck is always important. Keep up the great work.

I used to own the 32 ACP model with the shrouded hammer and grip safety. It was additionally stamped B.S.A.C. the abbreviation for British South Africa Company.

Yours is one of the most comprehensive and easy to follow presentations about this remarkable semi-automatic design. In addition to pointing out the differences among the various models, your mention of Savage's marketing campaign to the wives of traveling salesmen and to women generally ("10 Shots Quick," and the fact that the shape of the barrel and frame were essentially the same as the finger and palm, and therefore could be aimed almost instinctively) and the remarkably easy field-stripping of the pistol are excellent. You also treat the often-debated "locking" issue very fairly, while also pointing out the pistol's "firsts"--especially the magazine, which appears to be the first American-designed double-stack magazine.

@keithweiss7899 3 жыл бұрын

I love my Savage 1907! It’s actually one of my most accurate automatic pistols out of many types. A word of advice though. When I bought mine used, I was cycling the action and dry firing it. My dad got on to me and said that I would wear it out before I even shot it. Well, I’m glad I did it. Because I pulled the trigger and pulled the slide back and let it slam forward again, and the hammer dropped! I cycled it again and the hammer again dropped! It was a perfectly timed, full-auto pistol! If I had simply pulled the trigger at a range, the gun would have been uncontrollable. The .32 auto isn’t very powerful, however when 10 are coming out of the little gun it could be dangerous. A little gun smithing fixed the problem and it has been working perfectly for many decades now.

The change in the mag release and accompanying change in the catch on the mag was actually done before the 1915 and 1917; in 1912 I believe. So early 1907s used the original mags, while later ones used the same mag as the 1917. And for a while mags were made with dual catches so they could be used in both early and late 1907s. Oh, and you didn't mention it but the only mags with the hold-open were for the 1915.

@fishcars8078 7 жыл бұрын

This is indeed true. I have a 1907 with the lower pinky actuated mag release. You seem to be well versed in these specific pistols. I am generally very knowledgeable on such subjects by my particular 1907 confuses me, and if you could possibly offer some advice I would greatly appreciate it. My particular 1907 has multiple very fine slide serrations as opposed to the large coarse serrations as the ones in this video and in most videos and pictures. Was the slide serrations change something that was phased in like the mag release change? As in there are 1907s around in multiple configurations? Coarse and fine serrations and pinky or ring finger mag releases? Also mine is clearly marked 32/7.65mm but it has a 380 magazine. As said in the video it fits just fine and locks into place. I'm just curious if 32acp will feed from this magazine since they have the same overall length as a 380acp. This particular 1907 is in good overall shape and appears to be a French contract as it has the lanyard loop but clearly has a mismatched magazine. Do you know if the 380 mag will work or which variant mine is since it has the fine slide serrations? I appreciate any help on this.

My great grandfather was a cowboy here in Florida. Yes, Florida had cowboys, too. This would have been the early 1900s, but there were cattle drives in the late 1800s just like the west had. Anyway, he carried a Savage in .32. Cattle in florida were turned out into scrub forests and rarely, if ever, saw a human. They become mean. My great grandfather showed my brother a cow skull with a little .32 caliber hole in it where one charged him one day and he was forced to dispatch it.

The magazine has both a upper and lower magazine release holes at the bottom of the magazine. This pistol is a .32 caliber and is all matching.

The fire controls are different, slightly different trigger release mechanisms, the earlier one is not as reliable, not interchangeable. I've always heard them called 1907's, yet they are both low serial numbers with the earlier date on the slides. I've never heard anything regarding the earlier dates. They are fun to shoot, accurate, and they point nicely. They are dated 21 November, 1905 Pat. One of them has the late style mag release, pinkie release, the other the early style. Thanks again!

So I picked one of these up the other day and it is a 1907 with some strange differences. No grip safety and the regular rectangular grip, but the mag release was the pinky style. The barrel has a groove around the barrel, just ahead of the chamber with a flat spring wrapped in the groove. Rear sight is integral to the slide instead of pinned. My "family" piece is the standard fairly early 1907 with ring finger release, no groove in the barrel and pinned rear sight. So There are subtle differences throughout production. Of course the "family" piece is 99.7% finish and I don't think was shot between 1908 and 1981 when it came into my posession. (it is originally my great grandfather's piece) The one I picked up the other day has a negative percentage of original finish and has all the wierd changes. I'm looking for more as they are a fun gun to shoot and who knows, they might be worth something in the far future.... (or not...) Thanks as always for the great info and Keep at it Ian!

Odd, the one I recently got must be some sort of transitional model. An online search indicated it was made in the year 1915. It looks like a 1907 pattern, but it has a toe release like the 1915 pattern. However, it doesn't have a grip safety or shrouded hammer like the 1915. It also has a lanyard loop on it, which I'm pretty sure makes it a French military contract gun. While I'm not entirely sure of what's going on with it, I still like the thing. The art deco look is too cool.

If you will move the slide all the way to the rear and engage the safety to the up or safe position, the slide will lock back and you can remove the firing pin assembly without having to hold the pistol really tight! In fact, you can let go of it and remove the firing pin assembly and then pull the slide off while pulling the trigger, and the gun will come apart very easily. I have disassembled the firing pin assembly on mine and polished the parts and cleaned the assembly and when reassembled the pistol shoots much better. This polishing of the parts in the group you call the fire control group actually helps with the striker hammer when cocking the pistol. Never put oil or grease on this assembly just polish the parts. One last thing for owners of this great little pistol. Never remove the grips! You will crack them and have to purchase new replacement grips made of some form of modern plastic. The original grips are made of hard rubber. A lot of the old fountain pens made during this time period were made of hard rubber. Hard rubber is real rubber from the rubber tree with a lot of sulfur mixed into the rubber and then molded into the shape needed.

It still shoots great but most of the original blue coat has worn off. What would you recommend I could do if I decide to sell this. Good upload!

It is easy and cheap to apply cold blue. I got a 1917 in rough outer condition. I just cleaned it up on a wire wheel and then applied the cold blue. It looks great.

Please find and do an article between a winchester 1907 WSL in 351 wsl and 401 wsl. The rifle that would "shoot through a car door"

in disassembly, pull the slide all the way back, and engage the safety. it will hold the slide back in place, making disassembly much easier. quick tip.
