Here we present a Browning FN Model 1922 Pistol, made in Nazi Occupied Belgium, circa 1941, during World War II. Browning 1910/1922.32cal Pistol Firing Pin. It always brings a smile to my face when I can bring out a gun that was designed 100 years ago, made 75 years ago, and have it shoot as well as any modern.32 out there.Īnyways, I hope you enjoyed this video, and as always, we hope to see you next time.Browning Model 1922.32 caliber Magazine.
