Savage 1915 at the BackUp Gun Match
Forgotten Weapons
•
6m 31s
Savage launched its model 1907 pistol with a lot of marketing fanfare. It was "10 Shots Quick!" and promoted with testimonials form personalities like Buffalo Bill Cody and Sheriff Bat Masterson. It was intended as a pocket pistol for personal protection and home defense, with a lot made of how it was simple and effective for inexperienced people (especially women) to use. A few years later in 1915 a relatively small number (about 10,000) were made in the 1915 pattern, which shrouded the hammer and added a grip safety. I'm shooting our monthly BUG match this time with a Model 1915 in .32 ACP. Let's see how Bat Masterson's claim stands up?

However I think the more interesting (and less appreciated...
