About Fabrica de Armas Mexico Obregon
The Obregón is a Mexican designed semi-automatic pistol designed in the mid-1930s by a mechanical engineer, Alejandro Obregón. It was manufactured by Fabrica de Armas Mexico in Mexico City between 1934 and 1938 some 800 to 1,000 were made in that time. The Obregon pistol employs an entirely different locking system. It’s still a short-recoil setup, but instead of the dropping barrel of the 1911, the gun has a rotating barrel lockup similar to that of the Austro-Hungarian Model 1912 Steyr. The pistol was designed for the Mexican military but was not adopted. The left side of the slide is marked "Sistema OBREGON/Calibre 11,43" and the right side of the frame is marked "FABRICA NACIONAL DE ARMAS MEXICO PAT No 35053" above the serial number. The unusual feature of Obregon is that on the last shot, the magazine not only makes the slide remain open, but also when the slide is released it automatically goes on safe.
