All in all tho, I will take any Browning gun over just about any other.

One of the things I like about the Glock is the Browning lockup barrel.

It lowers the need for strong recoil springs. e.g blowbacks

I have not liked the 1911 since I first used one fifty years ago.

HPs are a much better design.

The 1911 was designed with 19th century metallurgy and materiel.

It was designed to stop suicidal Muslims in the Spanish American War.

OBTW: I have two Browning O/U shotguns

Shows what a genius Browning was. The Special forces are returning to 1911's in the 21st century.
