Savage 1907 in .45ACP at the Range
The Savage Model 1907 in .45 ACP was a significant contender in the 1907 US military trials, ultimately losing to the Colt 1911. This review highlights its unique rotating barrel mechanism, an 8-round double-stack magazine offering higher capacity than the Colt, and its striker-fired design. Despite its historical importance and innovative features, the pistol exhibited significant recoil and muzzle flash, with a stiff trigger pull and a less ergonomic grip angle compared to the winning 1911.
