This "From the Vault" video from Brownells Gun Techs explores a rare and experimental Colt Model 1910 pistol at Rock Island Auction Co. Originally chambered in 9.8mm Colt and later converted to .38 Auto, this prototype predates the iconic 1911 and was designed to compete for overseas contracts. The video highlights its more compact design compared to the 1911, its history in military trials, and its eventual discontinuation due to an informal agreement between Colt and FN. It also touches on its influence on the Colt Woodsman and compares its feel to the Spanish Star Model B. Only a handful were built, making this example a significant piece of firearm history.
