G-MAN Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 More from Wikipedia Always take Wiki articles with a grain of salt. I'm registered as an editor on there and I try to correct blatant inaccuracies when I run across them. A good example is where this article states that the Browning BPS is a "redesigned" Model 17 and 37. Not so. The BPS is not in any way based on the 17 or 37.

The more I've thought about what I wrote, I think I need to revise it. The BPS is based on Browning's original design in the same way the Remington 11-48 was based on the long-recoil design of Browning's original patent for his auto-loading shotgun. So I suppose in that sense alone it is a "redesign" of the 17 and 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
