Produced by Alexandre Fagnus of Liege, this is a military style, six-shot, .450 caliber revolver with a particularly interesting and unusual unloading mechanism. The rear half of the trigger guard is a lever which can be rotated 90 degrees out from the frame, unlocking the barrel and cylinder. Th...

FN introduced the paratrooper folding-stock version of the FAL rifle in the early 1960s, and it became a very popular addition to their rifle line. Since the recoil spring on the standard pattern FAL runs down the length of the buttstock, fitting a side folding stock required a redesign to the in...

The CAL (Carabine Automatique Leger; Light Automatic Carbine) was FN's first attempt to produce a 5.56mm rifle as a counterpart to the 7.62mm FAL. While light and handy, the CAL was a relatively complex and expensive design, and failed to garner many sales. About 12,000 were made in total before ...

In this case, the Daddy-Gat is a 1974-dated FN Browning GP-35 Hi-Power, and the Son-Gat is an FN BDA-9 (not to be confused with the other BDA...

Well, there's only one fun way to test whether an FN Browning Hi Power magazine will fit and function in an FN BDA-9 (aka HP-DA or DA-HP, as in double action Hi Power) and vice-versa, and that's to test it out on the range! Will we confirm or refute what the Intartubes says about it?

With a so...

Yet more Browning Hi-Power GP35 mechanical nerdery for you: this time it's what's simultaneously really clever but really dumb/awful/craptastic about the trigger mechanism.

The Browning Hi Power GP35 has possibly the worst magazine safety ever devised, and this vid explains why, with reference...

Some mechanical nerdery for you: magazine safeties / disconnects sound good on paper, but in my view are dangerous and counterproductive, so should not be a thing. But they are. So here we are.
