I was at a Gun Show this past Sunday and saw this little guy on a gentleman's table.I picked up this Nomad for $250.00 which I thought was a pretty good deal. The serial number dates the pistol to 1969.It has a few minor scratches and wear marks here and there but otherwise the gun is in very nice condition.I think it will make a fun and inexpensive plinker.

Yep, they are excellent guns especially the older/earlier ones. They only like their own factory magazines.

You have good taste.:)

honestly, I dont think its possible to avoid being a fan of Browning. Rev./guru JMB's contributions are virtually in every firearm under the sun in some form or another.
 
Yes! Auto 5 20ga - Remington 11 12 ga - Two 12 ga. Golds - Colt 1911 and a P35. Oh, and a 16 ga Mod 12 Winchester (which I believe JMB designed)
 
Brownings before SW

Long before I got my first SW (a model 17) I hunted with an A5. Now I have 3 of them, a M1922 pistol (in .32) that I occasionaly carry, BPS, M42 (410), Gold 12 auto, 5.7/28 pistol, and BLR 3006. Of course my SW collection is the greater o the two-but for hunting it's my Brownings.
 
I worked in the Browning gunsmithing shop in St. Louis for several years in the late 70's and early 80's, during that time the 9MM Hi-Power became one of my favorite Browning's. Early Superposed shotguns in 20ga. are sweet though I've never owned one of them. The early Pointer grades were one of the most attractive shotguns Browning ever made.
 
Dang !! I forgot I have a little Browning BL22 in the back of the safe....of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most......
 
A long time BHP fan, the 9mm is #2 and the .40 S&W is #8.

I did not care for this Buckmark Camper. It was large and heavy compared to my S&W #422/622/2206 pistols. I sold it to a forum member who was going to suppress it.

JMB designed an awful lot of guns, but the Winchester Model 12 wasn't one of them, it was designed by Thomas Johnson, a Winchester employee.
 
1911, A-5, Ma Duce, BHP, what is not to like?

100 year old designs that aren't out of date by a long shot.

yeah no kidding ... 1911 evolution list was a mainspring housing, a little milling on the frame around the trigger and the rest too minor to mention.
after a century of service its still as modern as a pistol needs to be ... way to go JMB
 
I've had several Brownings , and always seem to end up getting rid of them . Right now I have BDA .380 that's probably going up for sale .
 
Iam not sure yet, my Browning Superposed trap only has 20k rounds, my hp has only 3k, and my 1911s have over 50k, not counting the others I have owned. The Challenger is a nice gun but I traded mine for a 1911.
 
I only own one, an SA-22, which I dearly love. IMO, it's the absolute cream of the crop when it comes to an open-sight .22 field rifle.

I would like very much to get a Browning semi-auto .22 pistol.
