Actually no. If you do your research, you'll realise that the Browning firearms company was one of the first makers of automatic firearms. They started with the Browning M1900 - Ugly, bulky piece of crap, but it beat the Colt 1911 by over 10 years. And the Colt company produced the Colt M1900 in the same year. Big chunky piece of nuts with a barrel about twice as long as the butt.

I don't know about "Good"...Oh sure it was, but I think it was the most POPULAR...mostly because it didn't look like nuts. It wasn't the kind of gun where you yanked it out and your victim went:
"You're gonna shoot me with that piece of nuts? Oh god. If I'm gonna die, at least kill me with something that looks nice!"
