ID this pistol
« on: August 25, 2025, 09:40:54 PM »
I saw this beautiful pistol in a video on youtube, but the host never said what it was since it's not the subject of the video.

So what is it? I'm pretty certain it's not a Beretta.

There's a Browning emblem on the hand grip. And from the mag size I'd say it's smaller than a .45 cal. My best guess would be a Browning 9mm High Power. Need more pics to see if it's Belgium made or not.  :salute

It's not a Hi-Power, but it does look like a John Browning design.

Based on the size relative to the hand holding it I'm guessing a Browning .380

Looks like we have a winner.

I need to get me a small .380. The Bodyguard I had didn't fire reliably. Common problem with the S&W .380 I've read. I put in a trigger mod that was supposed to correct that. It didn't.

I love my Glock 42 but it isn't very small compared to the Bodyguard.

Got a close friend who has two of the small P365 pistols, one in 380, one in 9MM. The 9MM shoots better, in every respect. Less flash, less blast, less perceived recoil, more accurate.
