Since when is a Belgian designed, Canadian manufactured pistol "American" ?
Like Colt.
We can't make anything new so we'll just recycle old stuff .

Yet I still want one.

Here you go.
$10 less, proven production.

Still have to pick up my M18 employee commemorative pistol.

Well, Browning was an American - albeit working for a Belgian manufacturer when he finished this pistol's design - and S&W is American, so . . . .

And Canada is in North America.

S&W have nothing to do with it.
And Browning never did finish the design.
It's a Belgian gun never used in the US except by a few followers of the 9mm.
Maxim and Hotchkiss are not "American" guns either.
Or you could call the Luger an American gun.
Borchardt was Works Manager at Sharps where he learned about Lee's detatchable box magazine.
The fact is that another dying gun company can't produce anything of their own so they are trying to capture some one else's crumbs.
Instead of wasting money on a fake "Browning", you could just buy a genuine Cz 75.
Does Springfield actually make anything anymore, or are they just selling Croatian imports ?
While you're drooling over this check out the "new" Cz Anaconda, and Python. https://www.guns.com/news/2021/03/22/colt-reintroduces-the-44-magnum-anaconda-revolver

Where do you get that it is made in Canada? All I can find is that it is made in the US, with magazines from a vendor in Italy.

Real Browning's were made under license by Inglis.

I'm confused now. Are we talking about the Brownings, or are we talking about the new Springfield clone?

During WW2 when the NAZI's invaded Belgium the blue prints were smuggled to Canada and the Inglis company started manufacturing the P-35,That's the canadian link.

Yes, they were .
Won't do Springfield a bit of good though.
Did any one wonder why FN would quit making them ?
They have been using the same manual machine tooling since 1935.
It wore out and it was not profitable enough to retool an obsolete "nostalgia piece".
FN aren't Colt, they actually have NEW products to build.
Springfield is wasting their money.
And to make it simple for Mike,
Springfield Armory is trying to bring out as reproduction of a High Power an 80 year old design, with all the same hype as if it weren't a sign they have no ideas of their own.
For all the bullshit Mike Bane and the rest of the gun media spouts there hasn't been anything actually NEW, in American firearms since the Mills Thunder Five.
