  1. It's because it's really a cocking lever that resembles an hammer. The Savage is really a striker fired pistol.

  2. A little late reply, however Savage sold many 1907 models in .32 ACP to the French during WWI (one of the many civilian .32 ACP pistols adopted during the war due to time constraint). It worked so well that the French used the same delayed blowback system for the MAB PA-15 in 9mm Luger, that so coupled the Savage system with a more modern slide design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAB_PA-15_pistol

  3. Yes and no. The Savage design is a delayed blowback. That of Beretta and Grand Power is a breechlock design (the barrel rethreat with the slide until it's unlocked) that derives from that of the Steyr 1912.
