The Model 1910 FN Browning was manufactured from 1912 through 1975.

Production was halted during the two World Wars, though a few were assembled from parts during the German occupation in World War II.

Eleven years later, FN entered into a long lasting relationship with the firearms designer John Moses Browning.

In 1922, Browning modified the M1910 pistol to suit the requirements of the military of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes which today is known as Yugoslavia after being renamed in 1929.

Browning and the FN Bureau dEtudes or Research and Development Office took the M1910 and lengthened the slide by adding a removable frontal portion, added a lanyard ring, they also lengthened the barrel and elongated the grip frame which gave the magazine more capacity.

This newly designed pistol would come to be known as the FN M1922 and was just what the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes had wanted and on February 28, 1923 they ordered 60,000 pistols.

This also gives the M1922 the distinction of being developed solely at the request of a customer rather then being targeted for a particular market.

The Germans had two different designations for the M1922 pistol.

Depending on the caliber, these pistols were designated as either the Pistole 626(b) for the 7.65mm version or Pistole 641(b) for the 9mm Short version.

The pistol has also been called the 191022 or 1022 which is short for 19101922.
