My Xmas gift

[Alabusa]

A 1969 model Browning Challenger. Made in Belgium by FN. Still in the original rug and I can only find one blemish on an otherwise mint pistol. Since pics, it has received a good cleaning.

Blemish.....

The rest...

That is awesome you dont find them in that condition very often

I have a 4" with the plastic grips in the same shape. Just pulling the slide back puts a smile on my face. I love the slide to frame fit and the trigger they don't make them like that any more.

You betcha a nice trigger. The machining and fit is very good. I am in love with this pistol, especially since it is older than I

Nothing would make me happier than to see a fine piece like that show up and smoke the competition that all have the latest and greatest doo dads and “game changing” gizmos. Congrats on the pistol.

What a great pistol! Had one a long while ago, sold it and have always regretted it. As for Pappakap's post, we have a guy at out club that shoots one of these at our Fun Steel matches. He usually wins the iron sight 22 category against some high dollar "race guns".

My dad has one I tortured almost daily as a kid, probably way to young to be turned loose.. anyway, the thing always worked with any cheap ammo...

I plan on shooting some matches at my shooting club but I am not the greatest pistol shot. I will limit the pistol, not be limited by it. Sorry!

Hey if you can show up and have fun that’s what it’s all about. If you can have fun and make a guy with a race gun reconsider the fortune he spent on his gun that’s just icing on the cake.

 

[Alabusa]

I plan on having a good time and will let you know how I do.

I love a fine rimfire pistol and yours definately fits the bill! Enjoy!
