"22" post below about our love affair with the fun guns from

the good old days. SW FL is a fertile area for finding the guns of our youth, all mine are long gone, but I picked up this Browning Challenger off a consignment for $800. Made in Belgium, with a second 6.75" barrel to go with the 4.5" tube. Only one mag, but it's a tack driver with either barrel, trigger is the usual light-crisp-no-travel from the early Brownings. Wood/metal fit is flawless and can't find a scratch anywhere. The hand-checkered grips melt in my hand.
