Savage 1907 pocket model, Takedown and review. 

Disassembled mine for the first time and didn’t pay attention to the the spring until reassembly. It has an open end which I figured would be towards the muzzle, but wanted to be sure. Yours is the only video I found that had any sort of example and you even explained as to why it should be that way. Very much obliged pilgrim!

You can use the safety to lock the slide back before removing or re-installing the breech so you don't need the so called "death-grip" to hold the slide back.

I concur regarding reliability and manufacture of older pistols. I am specifically drawn to this Savage Model 1907 and hope to find one that has not had too many rounds through her. I appreciate your video. Thanks!

These pistols are no joke. They found their way into WW1. Many have survived over 100 years in good working order...

Where the hell was this video eight years ago. I had to correspond by email with the guy from Brazil and he faxed me over the takedown instructions haha. Good Video my friend

One of my two favorite and loved guns. I have the one my dad owed, my grandfather owned first. It's a beautiful firearm. (Oh, the other. My father in law gave me his Winchester 1890 pump action 22 in WRM. Sweet.)

Thanks everybody for all your comments my cousin just pulled one of his dad's out of the closet and we're going this weekend to shoot it and I wanted to make sure I knew what we were getting into now I can't wait to see it peace out everybody

Gansters liked this gun, most removed the front sight to prevent snagging as it was drawn from the coat pocket. I inherited mine from an uncle who helped his Chicago pals move in on Vegas in the 40’s. the pistol had no front site till I had my gun smith make one for it. Gerald Decker died when I was 3 yrs old I am now 68

I recently obtained a Savage model 1907 through my grand father as it was passed to me and am considering acquiring a concealed carry permit and was curious if this would be adequate for self defense purposes.

Nice video. One thing though, you can lock the slide open with the safety, the same way you can with a (Browning) FN 1900. That will take the pressure off you hand during takedown.

Picking one up soon. Thanks for the good video. Will be a nice addition to my 2 1903 .32 Colts and 1908 Browning FN... 32 cal is not a round I would want to be shot with.

I have 1 of these as well. I also did a video. Fun gun to shoot. Great video.

I have a Savage Arms Model 17 in .32 ACP. It was made in 1920 and is almost 100 years old. It is is excellent condition with just a little holster wear up front at the barrel. The barrel looks like few rounds have been fired. You really need a strong grip to pull the slide back on this semi auto. I have not fired it yet but it seems to function perfectly. I have two 10 round double stack magazines with it. My only problem is that no matter what I do I can only manage to get 8 rounds into either magazine. I do not think the rounds are staggering left and right properly as they are being loaded. Does anyone know if these mags can be stripped to be cleaned? I tried cleaning and lubing them as best I could without stripping them.

hi there! Thanks so much for posting! Can you suggest the best oil or cleaning solution for these pistols? i'm new to the game, and don't want to ruin the frame - someone suggested steel wool (0000) and some kind of cleaner or oil? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate. Thanks!!

Very interesting video about the Savage 1907. I make miniature guns and I recently finished a 1/4 Scale Savage Pistol Model 1907. You can see it on my channel.

I wonder if you can still purchase barrels for replacement ? Any one know ?

I recently purchased a Savage model 1905 32 acp on gunbroker.com and wonder if a magazine from another model Savage 32 acp will fit it?

how much does it sell for
