A guy here in North Alabama wore out three and keeps the best one patched up as a house gun.
Parts are hard to come by or he would have kept shooting them.

If you buy it, get used to that one mag..... Parts for these guns are hard to find. Maybe impossible.
They are good, quality guns, with very good ergonomics and triggers. But they hit the market at the wrong time, and Browning never put a lick of marketing effort into them. The end result is a short-lived, still-born pistol, which isn't that different of a MO than Browning / FN's follow-up efforts since then.
If you have other guns that you use and shoot, and you want an interesting gun from a time when the market and manufacturing was in a major state of transition, by all means, pick it up. But if you are looking for a first, second, or a handgun for specific person or purpose, I'd recommend widening the search.
