AND I found it the other way round ! Hated the 1911 but loved the browning ! 😂😂

Before they were banned in the UK I shot the Browning and 1911. The Browning was a fucking awful gun to shoot very wippy too light for it's own good the 1911 was brilliant loved shooting it. No relevance to airsoft of course 🙂

But it was so iconic in the 80's... The SAS used it and it was in Beverly Hills Cop 😎 I don't understand why the 1911 is so much more popular now. Might have to start a new thread on this... 🙄 @Druid799: Mine doesn't have any hop adjustment. Its got the hex grub screw but its been glued in and when I looked in the hop housing there is no mechanical way for it to put pressure on the top anyway. Sounds like there are different versions

Because it's not in use with US forces pretty much. If the SEALs start packing it, you can bet TM would have one out in an instant.

Just done a full game day with it. Worthe very penny. Insanely comfortable, the most comfy belt I have worn. Forgot it was there. Also it sits wherevever you put it. Literally doesn't slide up or down. The buckle is strong as well. Get one.

Took midcaps out for a spin, holy cow they're fun to use almost forgot what "fun" means in airsoft Also took the ssx out and it performed nicely, somewhat quiet even without the suppressor 😕 Did have one double feed, but that's because I cocked the gun and de-cocked it again to holster it. range is stupid Btw, outranged everything. By a far margin. With stupid good accuracy.

Get what you're saying, but when you think 80s SAS you think Iranian Embassy (well most people do) and which gun gets all the headlines in media related to that? As per usual MP5s and specifically ones with gigantic-massive lights attached to them.

I don't think US military adoption is necessarily all it is, but that is a factor. I think the BHP is troubled by being super generic looking to the vast majority of people out there and for some reason it just never gained any notoriety in general. Even though is was seriously advanced and miles ahead of its' time when initially designed and manufactured (pre-WW2) you barely see it featured prominently in films or games (especially compared to more popular pistols) and if you do its' looks will cause most people who only know a tiny bit about guns to mistake it for a 1911. It is odd because some of the most elite units of Nazi Germany used it as well as SF and Airborne elements from the commonwealth on the Allied side, then it was our standard issue pistol until the Glock came along in the mid-2010s so it did many decades of service. However it did become rather obsolescent in the 80s once the M9, P226 and similar started hitting the scene and obviously the entire internet and FPS games and airsoft didn't take off properly until the 90s. An awful lot of the guns that are cemented in to the popular parlance these days are designs that were all the rage in the late 80s-early 90s. The BHP sits in the awkward middle ground where its' WW2 service isn't much known or documented, yet its' popularity had faded come the golden age of action movies and the birth of our modern shooting games (virtual and real). It also kinda suffers from being too good in a way as there's nothing that stands out about it, it's mostly a boringly effective handgun and even worse its' plain looking to most folks as I mentioned. It's not a big .45 with chunky rounds, doesn't have a crappy single stack mag capacity like the P-38, no weird action like the Luger, no crazy plastic-fantastic like the Glock (that blew people's minds in the 80s). Mediocre triggers and sights on most of them as well, so while it is pretty good it's not an amazing performer either and didn't have the best rep for reliability in some military circles. Never had any really large community/industry around it doing modifications either. There was a little bit when pistols were still legal and there was more competition in the UK/Europe, but obviously the 1911s and Berettas would have been 'the thing to have' for civilians in the US.

So my silly expensive Japanese carry handle came today 😎 Love it! 🥰 But now I need to find a much more appropriate red-dot. Something smaller. Bloody more money! 😂

Echo this point, theres an old joke in sales/marketing/manufacturing " never mind the quality, feel the quantity!" lazer Molle significantly cuts manufacturing times and they can therefore cut cost whilst having to come up with reasons on why you should accept it as a purchaser. This may be in the form of paying an influencer/magazine/website to say the product is great but rarely does the products quality improve. the only people they really have to convince is the person in charge of purchasing for uk/ussf because once a few photos appear on the net of those guys using it job done, the product is fit for purpose and just watch everybody jump on lazer cut Molle like a fat girl on chips. buy what you want/can afford and decide what you are willing to accept in quality not marketing, i use viper kit because it's more than good enough for Airsoft the cheaper stuff is generally cheaper for good reason, but not always the reasons you may first think

Because not many people would actually want them probably. Most people stick to newer or more modern gear and guns and the Browning doesn't really fit that mold. Doesn't help that it was never adopted on a large scale by the US either

And that ladies and gentlemen is QC in a nutshell , my one ? Really accurate (without any hop adjustment) and weighs a fair bit ! 😳
