Figure I'm in a position to go on a bit of a spree while the spreeing is good.
First is this FN 1900. So, why this one?
If one conjoins it with the Browning 1899 they represent John Browning's first successful semi-auto which is also to say; the first production pistol with a slide.
Milestone, that!
Also, I am a huge, unrepentant fan of .32ACP as it's done so right by me in the past.
Then, there are the interesting design touches like the *Your gun's not cocked, DUMMY!" flag forward of the rear sight in the third photo. Weird to be sure but cute.
Next, near and dear to my heart - it has a lanyard loop. Sure, I'm not gonna dummy-cord it to me but I always like the level of intended use that they speak to.
Then, how about that slide configuration with the barrel on the bottom? Show's the "low-axis" nazis that there's nothing new under the sun.
Yes, I do see what I did there.
Shooting? It's a HOOT! Small as it presents, it fills my large palm nicely. The trigger action is outstanding and you seem to really note the low barrel. Sights are a struggle in all but perfect light but these days, I'm usually shooting plates in the desert anyhow.
One thing interesting about that low-axis. With some ammunitions and the ejection port being directly over my trigger-finger knuckle - they can all but skim off if I'm rotated high.
