The old Colt .22 - I'm going to shoot a mag or two through - It'll be my 50th birthday.Only reason to shoot it.
I will be shooting it on my 50th birthday - 11/06 - a Tuesday. Took the day off. If you want to shoot an antique Colt, holler. This is the only time I will ever fire it/allow it to be fired.

The SIG 380, Colt Mustang and Kimber Micro 380 are not Browning designs. The SIG and the Kimber are clones of the Colt Mustang, which in turn is a clone of a Spanish STAR (or Astra, but I think Star) pistol from a few decades back.

And they ripped off Browning, so those guns are definitely more Browning than Warren is Cherokee.

I'm at seven, four 1911s, bastard 1911 in 10mm, one Hi-power, and an 1897 that is currently in kit form, really ought to finish working on it.

Hum...

My Brownings are...

Ithaca Model 37 (originally a Browning designed Remington)
Springfield M1911-A1
Browning High Power
Remington Model 81

I think that's all I have.

Oh! I forgot my Vis 35 Radom.

Yeah, it's Polish. It wasn't designed by Browning, but Browning's design was the starting point.

I've got a Browning Gold Hunter in 12 ga.  I got it from a client of mine who was a rep for Browning the first year they came out with the Gold Hunter in 1995.  I paid $400.00 brand new.  I note they go for around $1100.00 today.
