The FN Browning 1910, designed by John Browning, is a striker-fired, blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol chambered in .380 ACP or .32 ACP. Initially rejected by Colt, it was produced by FN Herstal and became a significant sidearm in World War I, famously used by members of the Black Hand society in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Its production continued through World War II and beyond, influencing later pistol designs.
