Already read my hardcopy cover to cover...:D

This is a really good edition of American Handgunner as most are and IMHO one of the few gun magazine worth looking at...There is a great article on J.M. Browning and a museum in his home town of Ogden Utah...the author and the head guy from Cylinder & Slide were able to examine and take apart two of Brownings original design prototype .45 ACP pistols...One was something I had never seen or knew existed but is a beautiful pistol called the .45 Hammerless which looks like a baby Browning hammerless .25 on steroids...

The other pistol was the original 1911 design, one of a few made and distributed to the military for field testing and is called the 1910...It looks very much like a normal 1911 but doesn't have a slide safety but the military insisted that the gun have a slide safety and sear/trigger lock so as to be able to safely handle a cocked pistol...

I had always heard it the other way around and J.M. didn't want to have a grip safety but added it after the military requested it but the 1910 in the magazine has a grip safety...WOW can you imagine being able to examine and disassemble something the mastermind had hand made in his shop!!!!...Incredible article and pictures, well worth the price of the magazine...
