		A lifelong resident of Louisville, Pete Browning was the youngest of eight children born to Kentucky natives Samuel Browning (1814-1874) and Mary Jane Sheppard Browning (1826-1911).
		However, recent research indicates that Browning's fielding deficiencies, at the very least, deserve re-examination for several reasons: the crude equipment of the times, the typical fielding averages of his era, and the fact that Browning played three up-the-middle positions on the defensive spectrum: shortstop, second base and center field.
		Browning was first hit by a pitch early in his career, in July of 1883, not in May of 1890 as reported by at least one newspaper.

	Gun Smoke: Browning Hi-Point
		Using the same short-recoil operation, locked breech, and exposed hammer of the 1911, Browning developed his new handgun for the 9mm cartridge.
		In doing so, he did away with the swinging barrel link of the 1911 and replaced it with a fixed-cam lockup that was less prone to wear.
		The reason for this is that in order to accommodate the larger magazine, Browning had to use the transfer-bar trigger system instead of the stirrup arrangement of the 1911.

		In March 1911, the "Browning-Colt.45 Auto Pistol" was officially adopted as the sidearm of choice for many sections of the U.S. military service.
		The original 1911 was one of the most powerful sidearms built in its era, and as a result, recoil was an issue, each shot moving the shooter off target as much as 4 or 5 inches easily.

		Browning had been working on the gun's basic design, but then he died, and the task was taken up by FN designer Dieudonne Saive, who incorporated some of Browning's concepts and added a few of his own.

	Gun Notes - April 2005
		Rather than John Browning's bushing, the recoil spring surrounds a guide rod, and the 4-inch bull barrel is ramped.
		Kimber, of course, is another big player in the 1911 market, and we were marveling at the apparently insatiable demand for this seemingly archaic design.
		But the training required for carrying and operating a 1911 remains a major issue for both the military and police markets, so these together are just a small fraction of today's huge 1911 market.

	Stupid Tilt-to-Lock Question - THR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		I know that with the Browning tilt-to-lock barrel method of operation, aka 1911, the barrel angles donward at the chamber when the slides unlocks - hence the upward tilt of the muzzle of the barrel when the slide is back.
		This got me to wondering if in fact the barrel tilt is much less on a CZ or other forms of semi-autos that use a modified form of the basic Browning method of operation.
		I guess my question arose out of my looking at the CZ 75, recognizing that its barrel didn't appear to be angled or tilted when the slide is back, and knowing that it uses a "kidney" shaped lug under the barrel instead of a link.
