View source for FN Model 1900

The '''FN Model 1900''' is a Belgian semi-automatic pistol and the first pistol designed by legendary arms designer John Moses Browning. Designed in 1896, the pistol was manufactured by [[FN Herstal]] from 1900 to 1911. The pistol is blowback operated and is notably the first handgun to feature a slide. The design was adopted for service by few national militaries, as turn-of-the century militaires were, in general, still wary of the emergent semi-automatic pistol and the .32 ACP cartridge was seen as under-powered for warfare. Despite this, the pistol was adopted by the Belgian military and saw limited use in Russia, Germany, France, Greece, and Austria-Hungary. The Model 1900 was also used widely in China, where it was well-received and the design extensively copied. The Model 1900 saw success on the civilian market owing in part to its small size, low weight, and rounded edges that made it easy to conceal carry. Over 700,000 were produced during its production lifetime.  

Despite not seeing as much military usage as later pistols like the [[Colt M1911]], the Model 1900 is still a landmark design in the history of firearms and heralded the rise of the semi-automatic pistol as we know it today.
