Colt magazine--same as Browning?

[The_Antibubba]

I have a Colt 1903 in .32acp, and as you might imagine, factory magazines are difficult to find. I've found I've found a mag for sale, but it is listed as a "Browning/FN 1910 .32acp magazine".

The pistols are nearly identical. Are they the same magazine?

no. those magazines are about as different as you can get. the 1910 magazine is shorter. the 1903 also has a guide in the frame that takes the place of part of the feed lips on the magazine.

these are aftermarket:

Have you done business with Checkpoint Charlies? Are they reputable?

The only FN/Browning magazine that interchanges with a Colt is (or was) the one made for the 1906 Browning Vest Pocket 6.35mm model v. the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket .25 ACP.
