Glad I bought mine years ago.
I suspect prices will go sky high this year with commemoratives.

There is no argument that John Browning was other than a genius for the ages. Besides the timeless 1911, consider the M2 .50 Caliber heavy machine gun. Those two will haved lived and performed for well over a century, and probably will go one well beyond.
Even my wife's tiny little "Baby Browning" .25 ACP is a jewel, as are all of his other inventions. I had the pleasure to shoot a few, including the outstanding (if heavy) BAR.
John Moses Browning will never be forgotten. And the man did it all without a hint of CAD tools or modern materials science. THAT is genius.

Happy B-Day... I’ll drag the old girl out today for a little toast... me with a brewsky, her with a bottle of gun oil, then we’ll head to the range for a little party, when she gets back... ah, the spa treatment begins. ;-)

This is the model I have. When you own one of these, there is no point in owning any other pistol.

“
John Moses Browning was an inventor.
“
That’s an understatement.
With the .45 pistol, .30 air-cooled, .50 Ma Deuce, and BAR, he helped keep us in the game
until the Manhattan Project settled the conflict.
And I have my late father’s (Remington) Auto-Five shotgun.
It is definitely one of my prized possessions.
