People forget, antibiotics weren’t a thing either until the late 20’s early 30’s so likely hood of death even with a small hole was much much higher than today due to infection
President Garfield was shot with a not-very-powerful Bulldog pistol; President McKinley was shot with a .32 revolver. Both had the best medical care available, and both died of infection. Being shot in the torso before x-rays, antibiotics, and even complete antiseptic practices was quite often a death sentence. Sure, you might not die the same day -- but you were quite likely going to die.
This pistol was way ahead of its time with lower bore setup. Hell, there are companies now making this same type of pistol setup in revolver and semi auto alike. Brilliant design and a gorgeous pistol.
I'm a Korean and I know a lot about this gun. In the Imperial Japanese Dynasty, there was a independence actuvist called An Jung-Geun. He used the FN M1900 to assasinate Ito Hirobumi, a big figure to make Korea a colony to Japan. He fired three shots, killing him. He was executed after the incident, and Koreans praise him as a hero. The Serial number of the gun was 262336, however the original gun was destroyed by the Japanese. Currently, even Japan, which makes many replicas of airsoft guns, doesnt make one gun; the M1900.
I have a Spanish Ruby pistol in 32 acp and am waiting for prices to regulate so I can get one of these or a mauser 1914. I don't know why, but 32 acp is one of the most fun cartridges I've shot! Thanks for showing off this beauty!
@@BrandonGavin_EDC I mean no offense, but I just have to ask....... Are you the Gavin that the random British guy keeps looking for in the game? 🤔 Nice design on the pistols, by the way!
I have my great-grandfathers handed down to me by my father, he gave it to me when I I turned 21 back in 1993. I haven't shot it in years, I just keep it oiled in the safe along with my 1903 which I happened to find at a used dealer in Painsville Ohio just 3 years ago. Pain in the butt to field strip though. I remember my father taking it down all way to clean it and he hated it because he is a 1911 man. I myself have taken it completely apart maybe 3 times. Thanks for sharing, excellent piece of history.
@Joshua Tree That could be said for any rifle that has more than a 30 caliber bullet, every AK I have ever fired didn't have innacurate sights, one of em was even a Century Arms!!
Recently inherited one from my grandfather it was originally my great great grandfathers and he brought it with him from Scotland to Canada. It hadn’t been shot in almost 70 years but some how I took it out and the thing is 100 percent functional and is by far my most prized firearm
Today 7.65 (32 acp) is considered too useless (and not lethal). But during many generation, overall (in urope) it's the most popular caliber for automatic defense handgun (used by bad guys or cops). And I believe in this fact: it's better to hit aggressor with 32 acp (fired by easely gun like a FN 1910) than missed him with 357 mag ou 45 acp ...
Advanced design feature: "The rear sight incorporates a cocking indicator. When the pistol is NOT cocked, a metal bar protruded up in the rear sight fixture and blocks the shooter’s field of vision. It is not a loaded chamber indicator as such. One can cock the firing mechanism without a round in the chamber and the device shows cocked."(Wikipedia) The Mateba Revolver placed the barrel below the spring rod to lower the center of gravity. But Moses Browning did it first in his model 1900. The .32ACP was the cartridge of choice in Europe well into the 1960's. The ergonomics of the .32 ACP lend itself to less jamming than the .380 ACP, which was the reason that the British Secret Service dropped the Walther PPK. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS! Thank you.
1) I don't think the appreciation in earlier days for the .32 relative to today has to do with an *increase* in macho-ness. (Definitely not an increase in *manliness* as the reference to TR points out) I think it made perfect sense at the time. We have just been spoiled by advancements in ammo quality and technology as well as in the technology that, as Hickock said, allows us to carry larger rounds in smaller guns. We think of an average modern 9mm carry ammo as kind of basic and not especially impressive these days, but compared to the ammo at the turn of the century, our "vanilla" 9mm is quite impressive. I also don't think (mind you, I have 0 proof for this) that the concealed carry doctrine of the time was as focused on reliably ending the threat with as few rounds as possible as we are today. The idea of carrying a gun back then was more interested in just being able to actually carry a fairly effective firearm around on your person. Today, the idea is that you want to be able to 100% rely on your firearm, and your training with it, to completely neutralize a threat (at the proper range anyway) immediately. Back then, they were just happy to be able to carry around a mechanically-reliable firearm at all. That's a huge advancement from trusting your life to derringers fireing rounds around the .22 size range with less power behind them than some small caliber pellet guns do today. Because of their limited range, power, accuracy, and reliability, many of the previous generations of pocket guns were actually less effective than carrying a knife and having the willingness and know-how to use it. We may look down at the humble .32 today, and with good reason relative to what's available, but we can at least all agree that having a Browning was better than having a knife.
Two factors to consider: One, the ability to treat trauma patients was nothing like it is today, so everyone back then knew even a small bullet could easily be lethal. Second, I believe people back then also knew the solution to any perceived lack of stopping power was simply to shoot your antagonist multiple times. Today we are far more worried about being able to stop an assailant with a minimum number of rounds fired, for any number of reasons.
I have one of these that my grandfather brought back from WW2. It has Russian and Chinese markings and appears to have been made in 1902. I've never shot it due to a crack in the frame. It's defenitely seen some things. Thanks for posting this video! It makes me wanna get into the safe take it apart.
I stick mostly to the revolvers myself, to give the enemy some chance, and admittedly for the aesthetics. But i usually have this one as a backup for the " oh shit i actually might die here" moments, and horseback fighting. i just wish they'd made more effort to make all the holsters accommodate the automatics nicely.
@@HinrikS I play without auto aim and i got a lot of " i might actually die " moments. But I don't know why I still stick to my beloved colt single actions, maybe bc they are more cowboy to use ? Idk. Maybe I should get a semi auto pistol too... Nah... I will die with my colts 😂

Take a look at the S&W Model 422/622 series of pistols if you want to see the modern continuation of this design. It was also flat out copied by several other European makers, including Dreyse. My wife's favorite .22 handgun for casual shooting and plinking is a 1987 vintage S&W Model 422. Works perfectly. A few years ago she started having issues with light primer strikes (failures to fire) I sent off to Numrich Arms for a set of springs (hammer, recoil, trigger) gave it a thorough cleaning and swapped the springs...back to perfect function!
@@hickok45 Correct. It does use the Model 41 Mags. However, the original Model 422 mags were 12 rounds and the Model 41 mags are 10 rounds. But they absolutely do work and are still available. My wife has 2 original 12 round mags and 2 Model 41 10 round mags. They all work just fine.
Loved the video, I'm always a fan of vintage guns. I would really love to see a "Armed in" video on the year 1921. It would be interesting to see the average person's gun choice 100 years ago from now.
That pistol is instrumental to some acts that changed the direction of countries. I read two revolutionaries living in two different countries killed some government officials to get their independence. First one was the death of a Russian military governor that sparked Finland’s independence and the second was a Korean killing a Japanese official which got Korea annexed by Japan. One was a success and the other didn’t go to plan.
Cool video. This is a gun that kinda flys under my radar. Very cool but I think it's overshadowed by the 1903 pocket hammerless in this country. Still very cool. It's Browning starting to take the market from the Luger and Mauser by use of the slide.
Imagine breaking into teddy Roosevelt’s house just to find him with this pistol and he says “speak softly and carry a big stick, or in this case a pistol”
I'm not a collector per say, but you know how us gun guys are, I've got a browning 1900, a colt 1903 and a savage 1907, , all three are fun little guns
.32acp is a fun caliber to shoot, and that is a cool old pistol. I wish there were more .32 acp pistols in production these days. Thanks for sharing that with us.
I've always wanted more options for the .32. It's not a defensive round for me, but I sure love shooting it and the little guns it comes in. Though if I couldn't carry a bigger caliber, a little .32 is better than nothing.
Please allow me a complete off topic comment. It is fantastic how fast nature seems to develop in middle Tennessee. in the Sunday Shoot a Round # 64 video all the trees are still barren, 2 days later, they have already got their green apparel. Amazing!
I have a 1907 Savage in .32 auto that was actually the first gun with a double stack mag... It is very accurate. if you get one you should do a vid on it. very reliable gun never seen one that was not.
omg haha. The fn m1900 was my first handgun. I got into firearms by collecting "cool" looking old surplus guns. Barrel on mine was completely shot out. Only the faintest hints that it was rifled at some point, but a cool piece of history non-the-less. Took it out shooting once just to say I've shot it. Cycled a single magazine fine. Can't recall exactly how accurate it was, but the lack of rifling was definitely felt/noticed haha.
These are fun to shoot. I've got the 1899 model made in 1899 that shoots perfectly for me. I've shot 100s of rounds through it and only had 1 stovepipe. The weight of the pistol handles the 32 ACP perfectly-it seems that the gun was made for that round and likely was.
This pistol is supposedly the pistol that started World War I, that assassinated Archduke Ferdinand. Looks like the pitting needs micro welding, then file to finish. I noticed very little muzzle flip when operating.
No way, it's patina and light pitting is beautiful. Restoring it would hurt its beauty and value. It's best just to remove surface rust, if any, very gently. Then just protect it from further degrading. Aside from that, this gun did not kill Franz. It was a 1910 I believe.
Our Glock 9 mm, does at bad times, Lock up on us. Well... That's the thing. A lot, of modern pistols have Polymer, and Poly-Plastic, material. Which is a determinate, to the firing ability, I have to say. Older Model Pistols, have metal finishes, and look, well, more solid in construction. But, the FN M1900, does really look reliable, and fun to shoot. Stay safe, Hickok 45! P.S. I have been watching you for almost 15 years, love the content and the Education!
That pistol is pretty small but in Hickok's hands it's even more tiny lmao. For real though, that pistol is a piece of history and art. What a lovely design.

Once upon a time people didn't laugh at smaller calibers because getting shot with them wasn't funny
People forget, antibiotics weren’t a thing either until the late 20’s early 30’s so likely hood of death even with a small hole was much much higher than today due to infection
i mean, it’s still not funny
One day people will laugh about being shot by 20mm.
I was going to disagree but then i remembered a video i watched the other day where a guy literally shot himself in the cheek with a .22

Being shot in the torso before x-rays, antibiotics, and even complete antiseptic practices was quite often a death sentence.

I like the .32 as well. The 1900s are cool pieces I picked two up for like 150 bucks years back. Dated them to 1904 and 1915
This is a very meaningful gun in Korea. Because it was the gun that killed a Japanese prime minister during the Japanese colonial era days.
Interesting looking pistol. Attractive in a Steampunk kind of way. One for the collection.
Still looks pretty modern even for today, IMHO. Way more modern than some other guns of that time.
Bullet wounds in the days prior to antibiotics, were far more feared than they are today.
Lead and black powder residue were toxic.

Cool video. This is a gun that kinda flys under my radar. Very cool but I think it's overshadowed by the 1903 pocket hammerless in this country. Still very cool. It's Browning starting to take the market from the Luger and Mauser by use of the slide.
Perfect timing! Just started my midday poop!
🙏🏻impeccable timing
Absolutely love your channel, especially since I can watch it with my children with out the worry of obscene content. Please keep up the great work.
Hickok plays red dead redemption 2 every day.
I walked into a pawn shop I frequent about an hour ago, saw one of these, and bought it immediately.
Imagine breaking into teddy Roosevelt’s house just to find him with this pistol and he says “speak softly and carry a big stick, or in this case a pistol”
I'm not a collector per say, but you know how us gun guys are, I've got a browning 1900, a colt 1903 and a savage 1907, , all three are fun little guns
TO WHOEVER READS THIS, I HOPE YOU A BLESSED DAY‼💗‼
Same to you, thanks!
.32acp is a fun caliber to shoot, and that is a cool old pistol. I wish there were more .32 acp pistols in production these days. Thanks for sharing that with us.
I've always wanted more options for the .32. It's not a defensive round for me, but I sure love shooting it and the little guns it comes in. Though if I couldn't carry a bigger caliber, a little .32 is better than nothing.
I wish you guys had this when you made the video “Guns from Red Dead Redemption II”
@@ImHumbucker damn you got some good memory.
My great-grandfather was given this gun for his service during World War II. Great firearm!
Imagine getting shot by hickok and last thing you hear as you fade away is his laughter
Please allow me a complete off topic comment. It is fantastic how fast nature seems to develop in middle Tennessee. in the Sunday Shoot a Round # 64 video all the trees are still barren, 2 days later, they have already got their green apparel. Amazing!
Love from Turkey hickok I love youre videos🇹🇷🇹🇷
I've been waiting for somebody to go over this gun, thank you!
@Pegleg LivingI've watched one of forgotten weapon's videos. But i wasn't aware that they made a video covering the FN M1900. I'll go check it out.
This pistol looks good
Have one just like that but in a tad better shape. My grandfather brought it back from WW2
This is awesome seeing you do a video with this pistol.
To add : for us all , “ LET FREEDOM RING ! “
I have a 1907 Savage in .32 auto that was actually the first gun with a double stack mag... It is very accurate. if you get one you should do a vid on it. very reliable gun never seen one that was not.
I seen this in red dead redemption 2
REALLY
@@SpuddyWesker 😐
Ya it's my favorite pistol
yea i love that pistol in the game
Pretty interesting old gun! Great videos! I've been watching them and now my boys are getting interested in them!
Hope you show us the Welrod someday
omg haha. The fn m1900 was my first handgun. I got into firearms by collecting "cool" looking old surplus guns. Barrel on mine was completely shot out. Only the faintest hints that it was rifled at some point, but a cool piece of history non-the-less. Took it out shooting once just to say I've shot it. Cycled a single magazine fine. Can't recall exactly how accurate it was, but the lack of rifling was definitely felt/noticed haha.
That’s like the m1899 pistol on rdr2
It IS the 1899 pistol it’s based on fn m1900 but 1899 model
This is my main gun un rdr2, really happy you did a video on it as it's slowly becoming one of my favorite early automatic pistols.
Initially, at first I thought it was a Soviet pistol.
Me Also
well this is where the soviets got their pistol design from
@@jedinutcracker Really.The Soviets wouldn't steal a design from America.Would they?
@@kevinsmith9502 noooooo nooo of course not ;)
@@kevinsmith9502 😆😂🤣
I've got a browning 1900, a colt 1903, 1908 colt vest pocket 25 acp,, 1907 savage, I love these old guns
Plot twist: That's the pistol from Red Dead redemption 2 it's the M11899 pistol.
Plot twist: the m11899 pistol in RDR2 is from real life
These are fun to shoot. I've got the 1899 model made in 1899 that shoots perfectly for me. I've shot 100s of rounds through it and only had 1 stovepipe. The weight of the pistol handles the 32 ACP perfectly-it seems that the gun was made for that round and likely was.
now it is clear how
Tokarev invented his own pistol 😄
I mean he did copy the 1911 a bit too
@@desertsmeagol7073 colt 1903
@@desertsmeagol7073 or fn browning 1903 😃
The owner needs to give that pistol some love. Be worth every penny! And after what you did to the Glock 18 he's pretty brave!
This pistol is supposedly the pistol that started World War I, that assassinated Archduke Ferdinand. Looks like the pitting needs micro welding, then file to finish. I noticed very little muzzle flip when operating.
Nope that was the FN 1910
No way, it's patina and light pitting is beautiful. Restoring it would hurt its beauty and value. It's best just to remove surface rust, if any, very gently. Then just protect it from further degrading. Aside from that, this gun did not kill Franz. It was a 1910 I believe.
Our Glock 9 mm, does at bad times, Lock up on us. Well... That's the thing. A lot, of modern pistols have Polymer, and Poly-Plastic, material. Which is a determinate, to the firing ability, I have to say. Older Model Pistols, have metal finishes, and look, well, more solid in construction. But, the FN M1900, does really look reliable, and fun to shoot. Stay safe, Hickok 45! P.S. I have been watching you for almost 15 years, love the content and the Education!
"I remember him talking about this gun"
Not funny without context
Can we all agree to make Hickok45 the Bob Ross of guns
The M1899 pistol from RDR2
That pistol is pretty small but in Hickok's hands it's even more tiny lmao.
For real though, that pistol is a piece of history and art. What a lovely design.

I Have one, in slightly better condition nice to see one being used, thank you. Don't forget the FN1910 which is a J Browning design.
5:23
quite a nice looking gun ...and compared to the competition of the era it was a revolution
Isn’t this gun in red dead redemption 2?
I think so
It is. It was added with an update.
Yes
@J B Rdr1 had the Cold 1903 Pocket Hammerless. The Browning High Power wasn’t invented yet in the year 1911.
I love the Beretta Tomcat I have in .32ACP. Small enough to carry anywhere
“Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment”🏆
🏆
Shut up bot
Thanks, btw did yall see @hickock45's post on the full auto Glock 17 it was so cool.
Shut up
@UCgWF7DLJfuGmxC_lN2veDRA Good luck. I been looking to get a PMR30 for over a year but where I am you can only find hipoints and super pricey revolvers and 1911s
