Incredible to think that two weapons, the 1911 and the “ma deuce”, both of which will soldier on well into this century, were designed by a man born 5 years before Lincoln’s election. A testament to Browning’s genius.
He made his first firearm when he was 13. Today, if a 13 year old made a firearm, he'd be in jail.
Our current laws very much constrain freedom and innovation.

Mormons control gun design.....ping.
Don’t neglect the Win 1894, some examples of same are too old to be considered firearms.
Ditto the BAR, as well as the A5, and a host of Winchester Rifles. And for you 9 mill fans, the Browning Hi-Power. The closest anyone’s come are Ruger, Stoner and Kalashnikov. and except for Ruger, the body of work isn’t even close.
Don’t forget the Browning Automatic Rifle. The third of the deadly trio. If you get a chance to see, or have seen, Charlton Heston’s private gun vault, you would see near a dozen BARs.....
