Known in many circles as "the world's greatest gun inventor," John M. Browning made his first firearm at the age of 13 but didn't stop there, eventually receiving 128 gun patents in his lifetime. Now you can learn how he did it in John M. Browning: American Gunmaker, the authentic biography of the man who invented pistols, rifles, and shotguns for Winchester, Remington, Colt, Fabrique Nationale, and others. Browning's most successful firearms included the M1911 pistol, the Browning .50-caliber machine gun, the Browning automatic rifle, and the groundbreaking Browning Auto-5 semiautomatic machine gun. His Colt 1911, Browning 1917/19, and BAR were popular among the U.S. forces during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War, while some of his other military weapons--such as the Browning Hi-Power, M2 Browning machine gun--are still in use today around the world. John M. Browning: American Gunmaker includes a 100-page photographically illustrated technical section that describes all of Browning's inventions. Tons of rare and unusual photos of prototype and mfg. guns.

FN Browning Pistols, Side Arms that Shaped World History - Expanded 3rd Edition, 2-Volume Set
FN Browning Pistols, Side-Arms that Shaped World History is the quintessential reference book on FN Browning pistols and reflects the continued work of Anthony Vanderlinden on the topic.
Work started on the third edition of FN Browning Pistols in January 2020 and has taken 2.5 years to complete. This is the fourth book on FN Browning Pistols, an evolution of research that started in 1996 (Belgian Browning Pistols released 2001 + FN Browning Pistols in 2009 and 2013).
This third edition is significantly different with major expansions in almost every chapter. The entire book utilizes colour in order to make it more user friendly. This third edition has 840 pages in 2-volumes, compared to 368 pages in the second edition. Not only did the page count more than double, this edition has 2,790 colour and period black and white photos. Many historic photos have never been published in an English language book.
The third edition contains the following major expansions:
- Expanded biographies of key individuals
- New information on John Browning and FN
- Expanded information on FN's dealer network and agents, including biographies on those agents
- Expanded and detailed coverage of grip variants as well as manufacturing and marking details.
- Expanded information on pistol models, variants, and contracts.
- Expanded information on FN during World War II: the occupation and resistance activities
- More than 120 pages are dedicated to accessories. For the first time ever in print, reference guides will help collectors identify magazine production time frames, help identify and date presentation cases, and identify shoulder-stocks.
The holster section has vastly been expanded to include many rare holsters.
- Counterfeit warnings throughout the book: alerting collectors what has been reproduced, so they can be better informed.
- and much more
Collectors should be aware that older editions are now totally outdated and that those editions are obsolete. We opted to eliminate the small Browning Arms Company chapter as the subject merits more accuracy than what we had in the second edition.
