Pistol Clement M 1909

In 1909, the Belgian gunsmith Charles F. Clement, improving his previous pistol models, created a new pocket automatic pistol, the Clement M 1909. In the 1909 model, chambered for 6.35 mm Browning, Clement used a new pistol design, in which he applied his own previous ideas. However, unlike previous models, major design changes were made to the Clement M 1909 pistol. The pistol was quite popular in its time, but in 1912 the production of this weapon was discontinued due to the launch of the Clement M 1912 model.
