I have owned an original Browning in the past, but now own a couple of historic Inglis WWII originals and one Inglis shoulder stock/holster. For shooting, I turn to my FEG which was inexpensive enough to customize to correct some annoyances that exist in the design itself. I turned the gun over to Cylinder and Slide with instructions on the modifications I wanted. The beavertail eliminates any possibility of hand biting. The little sights were replaced. The small safety lever was replaced. There is no magazine safety. Forward grasping grooves were added at no charge as part of the refinishing process by C & S. The hammer was replaced with one that fits the beavertail perfectly.

I now have one that is way more ergonomic and functional. The FEG was a good basic platform to work on and is quite accurate and reliable.

This is an Israeli Kareen. I think it was primarily a police pistol or a civilian pistol, not an IDF weapon.

I'm not 100% sure if it was made in Israel or made by FEG for Israel. Next time I dig it out I'll check the markings.
