"The 1903 hammerless was made in large size 9mm Browning Long"
It just dawned on me...
The FN 1903 was a larger size handgun, but it was blowback operated.
It wasn't the locked breech action that Colt was manufacturing at the same time in the United States, making possible more powerful cartridges like the .38 ACP and the .45 ACP.
As far as I can tell, the only locked-breech Browning designed handgun FN put into production was the Hi Power.
