Husqvarna Pistol m/07

About the Husqvarna Pistol m/07

The Husqvarna Pistol m/07 is the Swedish military service adaptation of the FN Browning Model 1903, a blowback-operated single-action semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 9x20mm Browning Long cartridge. Adopted by Sweden in 1907 and license-produced by Husqvarna Vapenfabrik from 1917, it features a fixed barrel, an internal hammer, a slim concealed slide, a seven-round detachable box magazine, and grip and magazine safeties. It was the standard Swedish sidearm until supplemented by the Lahti-designed Pistol m/40 and remained in service for decades.

Sweden's adoption of the Browning m/07 predated its own license production by a decade, so the first pistols were Belgian FN-made guns; when FN could not keep up with orders, Husqvarna took over and ultimately built more of the design than FN itself.

Husqvarna built roughly 94,000 examples between 1917 and 1942, exceeding FN's own Belgian output of the parent Model 1903. The cartridge was designated 9mm m/07 in Swedish service.
