A few months after having received my Colt 1903 .32acp, I was fortunate enough tonight to win an auction for another C&R eligible .32acp that's been on my list for ages: the Savage 1907.
I don't know much about the pistol other than I dig the aesthetics, it was advertised as "Ten Shots Quick!" (it boasts a 10+1 capacity, a marvel of its day) and it's chambered in .32acp/7.65 Browning.
What I don't yet know is what kind of action it uses. Until tonight, I was under the impression that it was a blowback like the Colt 1903 (I love that pistol more than I thought I would), but some take-down videos I've seen recently keep mentioning a rotating lug.
I know that the Colt 1903 uses rotating lugs to take down but it's been (seemingly) implied in more than one YouTube video that the slide rotates the barrel via a chamber lug when the slide reciprocates.
So, is the Savage 1907 a blowback like I suspect it is or is something more going on here?
