The Savage Models 1907, 1915, and 1917 were all available in .32 auto and .380. They also manufactured a small number of .25 autos called the 6.35 mm as well as a Model 1905 in .45 ACP for the US Army trials.
ACP stands for Automatic Colt Pistol. It is used to differentiate two bullets of the same caliber when one is for a pistol and one is for a revolver. For instance, .45 Colt is for a revolver, and .45 ACP is for a pistol. Other than the .45 inch measurement, the two have nothing in common and are not interchangeable; the .45 ACP cannot be used in a revolver chambered for .45 Colt and vice versa. The cartridge length and capacity are just two of the factors that make each different from the other.
Yes, the Bronco .25 caliber pistol, also known as the Bronco Model 1918, is a small semi-automatic handgun that was produced in the early 20th century. It is a lightweight, easily concealable firearm designed for personal defense. The Bronco brand is less well-known compared to other manufacturers, and these pistols are often considered collectibles today.
9 mm is a European caliber. It is approximately equivalent to a 38 or 357 magnum. The 9 mm refers to the diameter of the barrel. It has nothing to do with the way the pistol is made. It can be a revolver and used like any other revolver or it can come as an automatic with a clip in the handle. The Germans used it in World War 2 just like the English and Americans used the 38. For a while police departments used it. However, police departments have mainly gone over to a 45 caliber automatic.
I recommend the Gun Digest Book of Automatic Pistols Assembly/Disassembly (Kindle Edition). Two are available on Amazon: one by the venerable J.B.Wood and the other by Kevin Muramatsu. Both of these books include the Savage 1908 (the 1915 and 1917 pistols are similar).
Impossible to value with only the serial number and no other details.
.380 ACP means .380 Caliber, Automatic Colt Pistol. Often shortened to 380 auto. In other parts of the world, the 380 ACP is called a "9mm short" (or Kurtz, Corto other languages for "short."). So yes.
It could be any pistol chambered for one of the several handgun calibers in the .45 family. The most famous .45 handguns are actually chambered for different rounds. The Colt model 1873 "Peacemaker" was offered in .45 Colt or "Long Colt" caliber, among other calibers. And the famous Colt model 1911 was sold in a caliber called .45 ACP (automatic Colt pistol). The .45 ACP is not interchangeable with the .45 Long Colt, but they both fire big heavy bullets at similar velocities.
Yes, they are. Small Rifle can be used for Small Pistol, but not the other way around. Large Rifle can be used for Large Pistol, but not the other way around.
Not necessarily. There are a number of rounds marketed as .32 Caliber or 7.65. .32 Automatic Colt Pistol, .32 Auto, 7.65x17SR, 7.65 Browning, and 7.65 Browning SR refer to the same cartridge. They are not compatible with other .32/7.65mm cartridges such as the .32 Long Colt, .32 NAA, and others.
Impossible to value with only the serial number and no other details.
.38 Special is a specific caliber. There are other .38 caliber cartridges- about a dozen. The most common OTHER 38 is the .38 S&W, which is shorter, fatter, and less powerful than the .38 Special. MOST of the different .38s do NOT interchange.
Any handgun that is not a revolver is a pistol- so, yes, there are .22 pistols. They include single shot top break pistols, derringers, and automatic pistols. The last category includes the makes of Ruger, Colt, Browning, High Standard, Smith & Wesson, and dozens of other makers. The link below is to a photo of a Browning Buckmark pistol- caliber .22 LR.
