Finland's First Domestic Handgun: the Ahlberg
The Ahlberg pistol represents Finland's first domestic handgun, closely mirroring the FN Model 1910 design. Despite a contract for 1,000 units, production faced significant delays and quality issues, with fewer than 1258 units produced. Modifications included a longer barrel and slide, but the pistol retained the FN 1910's simple blowback, striker-fired .32 ACP mechanics. Ultimately, the Finnish government favored French Ruby pistols, leaving the Ahlbergs for police and reserve use post-WWII.
