A Classic Revisited: The Inglis P-35 N “Hi Power” 9mm Semi-Auto Pistol from SDS Arms - Lipsey's Bulletin

The greatest firearms designer who ever lived was John Moses Browning, and this fact is beyond dispute. From Browning’s fertile mind sprang a great variety of firearms, many of which remain popular well over a century after their introductions: from single-shot rifles, to manually-operated repeating rifles, to semi-automatic rifles, to semi-automatic pistols, to fully-automatic machine guns, to anti-aircraft and anti-tank Military machines, the world has never seen the equal of the humble Utah gun designer’s genius.

John Browning’s first design remains one of my favorite firearms: the simple, elegant Winchester Model 1885 single-shot rifle. Perhaps Browning’s most famous design, the 1911 pistol, remains wildly popular 114 years after its adoption by the U.S. Military, and with good reason.
