you just prefer all metal American design but don't care for the 1911's?
The "Assembled in Portugal" stamp didn't start showing up until the MkII in the mid to late '80's. FN may have started assembling in Port. in '71 but didn't mark them so until over a decade later. I have a '84 MkI that is not marked Port.
Yeah, my mom wants one ever since she saw them used in season 2 of Top Shot. I guess I just don't see what the big deal is. I asked a Browning dealer what the advantage was over a 1911 or a polymer pistol and he just basically said that some people are fans and there isn't any real advantage. So whats the deal? No doubt its a good gun, but why is there such a big following? What is the gimmick? Whats the perk? Do you just prefer all metal American design but don't care for the 1911's?
I have yet to shoot a Browing hi power, nobody I know has one and I haven't had the chance to own one. Shame on me.
You sure you are american? lol
