mechanical safety mechanism by Colt, which was one problem the War
Department saw in the design. Browning developed a type of relatively simple safety that could be retrofitted on the outside of the pistol, that would keep the slide locked in the forward position, and could be easily disengaged with a movement of the thumb. Another improvement was that the extractor mechanism was redesigned to fit on the inside of the slide, unlike the exterior extractor from the M1909 and other early Browning automatics.

The Model 1910 differed in many ways from the previous M1909 design, that had been rejected by the War
Department. The grip was changed from an 84-degree angle to 74-degree angle, which created a more natural grip when being fired from an outstretched hand. The M1910 was not manufactured with a

revolver was used as a control. The M1910 had 12 malfunctions overall, while the Savage M1907 had 43. 6000 rounds were fired through each of the pistols, the Colt, although having a number of issues, performed far superior to the Savage, which had to have many various parts replaced during the
193:, as he had with the M1909 the previous year. While firing, the pistol developed ejecting problems, and Browning attempted to repair the malfunction by removing the ejector and filing it down. When this failed to resolve the issue, Browning was left with no choice but to send it back to

duration of the trials. The board of officers present at the trials recommended that
Browning's Model 1910 be adopted for use by the War Department. The Commanding Officer of the Springfield Armory, the Chief of Ordnance and the General Staff concurred, and by March 29, 1911, the
176:
belief that the design was too complicated for use by enlisted men, and because it lacked a safety mechanism. The M1910 was a drastic modification on
Browning's part, modifying and adding many features that the M1909 was not equipped with.
