The Browning Model 1900 was a semi-automatic, 7.65mm pistol designed by John Moses Browning and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, in Belgium, from 1900. Small and light, this pistol had a simple, unlocked-breech, blow-back design, which became known as the Model 1900. An improved version of his first semi-automatic pistol he had designed around 1897, it was hugely popular as over 700,000 were sold before production ceased in 1911.
