Nice lookin' Colt, tell me when you want to trade it off, or sell it, or give it away, you know, just out of the goodness of your heart.
As I've said before, stranger things have happened!!

The book is new as well. Its was sitting on the doorstep when I got back from my trade.
Yes Browning was just that! Its one of the reasons I have tried to aquire atleast one design of each of his pocket pistols. Right now the only two that are missing is a FN Baby, and a FN1900.

I have that same goal, I'd eventually like to own, or at least catalouge all firearms he produced... obviously with in reason (as much as I'd like to have an M1919... don't think the pocket book can support it right now, lol).
When you FINALLY make it up here, you'll have to bring some toys, hopefully it will be cooler and we can go shoot.
To catalog all his firearms start with his original patents from the mid 1800's up the 1920's. From there you'll find that he is responsible for alot of the firearms we have today. Lots of folks like to downplay his geinous, but fail to look at their current likes and realize that if he hadn't been born they maynot have what they have. Almost every firearm made today has a Browning patent item in them.
Yup, and I don't care what anybody says... practically EVERY semi-auto pistol in the last 100 years has been, in some way, based off his design (or at least uses some, or many design elements).

Have you read "American Gunsmith"? I haven't yet, but I would like to at some point.
Yep. John Browning for autos and Sam Colt for revolvers. Most every handgun today owes something to these two gentlemen.
