SAVAGE ARMS 1905 .32 ACP
Description: Guns Listing ID: 539777 NO MAGAZINE The Savage Arms 1905 in .32 caliber is a semi-automatic pistol and one of the earliest handguns produced by Savage Arms Company of Utica, New York.

Key Features and Specifications (Savage 1905 in .32 ACP) Feature Description Model Name Savage Model 1905 Caliber .32 ACP (7.65mm Browning) Action Delayed blowback, striker-fired Magazine 10-round detachable box magazine Construction Mostly steel, with a distinctive hammerless appearance Safety Manual safety lever Sights Fixed iron sights Grips Hard rubber with the Indian head logo Weight Approx. 19 oz (unloaded) Barrel Length Approx. 3.75 inches Production Dates Introduced in 1905; later models led to the 1907 and 1915 variants ?? Historical Context Designed by Elbert Searle, whose patent introduced a unique rotating-barrel locking system. Entered in the 1907 U.S. Army pistol trials, ultimately losing out to the Colt M1911. The 1905 version was essentially a prototype or first commercial version, and it laid the groundwork for later Savage pistols like the Model 1907, which saw wider adoption and marketing. ?? Unique Traits Hammerless Design: Despite the striker-fired system, it was marketed as \"Ten Shots Quick!\" — a selling point in an era of revolvers with limited capacity. Rotating Barrel Mechanism: This is mechanically distinctive and helped manage recoil in a small-caliber pistol. Art Nouveau Styling: Early Savage pistols had elegant lines and high-quality machining typical of early 20th-century craftsmanship. ?? Collector Value Rarity: The 1905 is relatively rare compared to the more common 1907 model. Condition-Sensitive: Value depends heavily on finish, matching parts, and originality. Desirable for Collectors: Due to its historical role and innovative design.
