Just a quick question, is it possible to rebarrel a Browning 1910 with a .380auto 1922 barrel and make it restricted only? Or are the frames different or something?
 
In the dim, distant past I owned a 1910 Brng. which came stock with .32 and .380 barrels, and the respective magazines. If you could find a .380 barrel and the mag, they would just drop in. I'm not sure how it worked at the face of the slide, but it did. Maybe the cartridge headspaced on the mouth of the casing. Anyway, they both worked. However, the chances of finding those things are pretty slim, and besides now you'd have to have the barrel lengthened (meaning you'd have to have a newly manufactured barrel). If you email Barry Jensen of Bits of Pieces about the conversion, he'll give you a straight answer about feasibility and cost.
 
Was thinking of a hybred. Taking the slide and barrel from a restricted 1922 and adding them to a 1910 frame.

Did the 1910 come in 380 auto? Cause I would only need the mag. Or I could always shorten a 1922 mag by trimming it down at the base and tacking the floor plate back on.
