Cavalry Trials for Browning's Automatic Pistol: The Colt 1907
This video delves into the US military's 1907 automatic pistol trials, focusing on Colt's Model 1907, an evolution of their Model 1905. Despite initial positive judgment, the pistol faced significant issues during a year-long cavalry field trial, including jamming, part breakages, accuracy problems, and handling difficulties on horseback. Modifications were made in 1909, but John Browning continued developmental work, leading to substantial mechanical improvements. The video explores the trials and the pistol's performance.
