Winchester introduced the Model 1907 as one of the first truly practical semi-automatic rifles. Its .351 Self-Loading cartridge offered significantly more power than early pistol rounds, making the rifle a favorite among police and security agencies well into the 1940s. Designed for reliability and simplicity, the rifle uses a heavy blowback system — rugged, low-maintenance, and still admired for its distinctive recoil impulse today.
