Gosh, has it really been 100 years already?
And I don't think his invention has been any more popular.

Let's see your examples of Browning's genius or clones. Here's my only 2:

Springfield Armory loaded model, 45ACP





Colt Government 380 model, 380ACP





Not only did he design the pistols, but their ammo too!

Looks like the special 100th Colt 1911's will be selling for a pretty penny if they ever get out of the distributers hands!!

Would love to get one!

I have a Springfield Mil Spec, and a Springfield "Loaded" Sub-Compact, 4", night sights.

Springfield just came out with another model, looks like a "Loaded" more or less. But I'm thinking Wilson Combat. Like I need another handgun.

My 1943 model


ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

A. E. Housman
