History and Background
The Savage Model 1907 .45 ACP trials pistol was an experimental semi-automatic handgun entered by Savage Arms into the 1907 U.S. military trials to find a standard-issue service sidearm. It ultimately lost to John Browning's design, which became the iconic Colt M1911.
Savage Trial History and Outcome
