      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I purchased a used Browning 380 Black Label. I&#039;m very happy with it only now on the Internet see some that look much better ( at least to me ) with a shiny slide and wood ot fake pearl grips. The grips are rather inexpensive. Could I just remove the slide and remove the black finish on the flat surface on each side ? Maybe start with some 240 grit going to 400, 500, 600 and maybe 1000 if necessary. I made custom hand forged knives for over 20 years, but I&#039;m not sure of the material the slide is...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I&#039;ve done a little experimenting with different holster types and different sized handguns for concealed carry.  I&#039;ve found that with the right holster, almost any handgun can be properly concealed.  I used to think that light or summer carry meant being restricted to carrying sub-compact or micro-compact pistol.   My everyday wardrobe when I&#039;m on my own time almost always consists of shorts and a t-shirt.  Also being that I&#039;m 5&#039; 8&quot; and having a compact frame myself, I thought I was resigned to...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I just picked up my new MCP35 PI, all black, from Kentucky Gun Company for only $475 with free shipping.  I figured out how to remove and replace the guide rod/recoil spring system with the help of a video posted by BH Springs (great company). After playing with it for about an hour and with the help of one of those NOS coated original Browning mouse trap magazines, really got it smooth (no need to remove the mag safety system which I would not do anyway)....<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have the Tisas version (3.98” barrel, 13 round) of the Beretta clone and I wonder if anyone has experience with changing recoil springs on these guns. The spring that comes standard is very strong making it harder to manipulate the slide than any 9mm gun I’ve dealt with, and I need to do something - fix it of get rid of it. With exception to the recoil spring, it’s is a good gun that would fill a need for me. Any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[New member here looking for knowledge.  I have a Fabrique National 9mm on a High Power patent,  The gun has a very low 70000 serial number, but on the barrel proof it has a *E.  From what I can tell by the serial number, it was some of the first imported guns by Browning into the U.S. around 1954.  But the barrel proof shows 1926 proof under proof controller Jamart Auguste.   Am I correct on any of this, and was the barrel left over pre war stock ?<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A month or so ago, I had some time to kill, and a pocket pistol in each hand.  One was a Sig Sauer P238, the other a Kimber Micro .380.  The similarities were... well.... let&#039;s just say &quot;uncanny&quot;.  So I tried interchanging the two magazines.  Each magazine fit inside the other firearm (with the exception of the extended 238 magazine).  <br />
So I decided to strip the two firearms and go in for a closer look.  From the slide to the frame, they looked identical.  &quot;Surely not!&quot;, I said to myself as...<br />
