Husqvarna Pistol M/40 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Designed by Aimo Lahti. The official Swedish military designation for this pistol was Pistol m/40 but it is also known as the Husqvarna m/40 after the manufacturer, Husqvarna who produced almost 100 000 of them between 1940 and 1946. M/40 is recoil operted, locked breech pistol adopted as standard Sedish sidearm in 1940. In 1991 the Swedish Army stopped using the Lahti M40's and chose to destroy the remaining stores of them, about 50,000, so they've become rather scarce.
