Disagree. The 1908 is the Colt Pocket vest. The M1908 is a variant of the 1903 produced in .380 ACP
Also, comparing the pocket pistols in .380 to the 1903 in .380 is a bit off. The 1903 has a 4" barrel, providing much more velocity, especially with P+ ammo.
I like my browning 5" 1922 in .380!
There is an article on a person who converted a Browning 1922 to .32NAA, by reaming the chamber to the .32NAA cartridge. I would love to do this to a cheap standard 1903 in .32ACP! Might have to file the magazine well a little bit, since the .380 magazines need a little more room. Or maybe use a .380 frame with a .32 slide and barrel.
