FNH ~ M1922 ~ 7.65mm

Fabrique Nationale and John Browning's partnership would produce dozens of different firearms. Some are quite notable, like the Auto-5 and large parts of the Hi-Power design. In between those two weapons sits a number of small or compact handguns designed for those refined European gentlemen and women. One such pistol is the M1922. The M1922 is a blowback-operated, striker-fired handgun that chambered either the 32 ACP or the 380 ACP cartridges. This example is the 32 ACP version. The weapon has both a manual safety, a magazine safety, and a grip safety. The manual safety doubles as a means to manually hold the slide open. However, the weapon does not have a last-round slide hold-open device. The magazine release sits on the bottom of the frame and is a typical European-style magazine release. FN designed the 1922 variant for military and police contracts. It would go on to see use by Yugoslavia, Serbia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Turkey, Greece, and many more. It became a rather popular pistol. This example is complete and could use a good cleaning and lubricating. Finish is good and the pistol shows normal wear.
