OK, support your argument with facts as well.

Why was it never that great a pistol and less so today?

Answer last question first: Many better pistols have long since superceded it

Over the years I have owned two commercial Browning FN P-35's, the first one was prone to malfunction and close inspection showed crappy workmanship, the second one looked great, functioned even worse. Trigger was like trying to pull a 20 pound weight to get it to go off.

Several brands and types of different ammo did not help at all. I did get the last one to function reliably once, with some very hot 9mm submachine gun ammo, but I was afraid it was going to beat it to pieces.
