- My wife lets me use the Woodsman all the time, so I will count it.
- FN 1910
- Ithaca 37
- Stevens 620 If I can count the Ithaca as a modified Browning design, I can count the 620.
I'll count the 37 and 620 as a half each and say I have five.
I don't have any of them. Yet. But I could see a 1911 in my future.
Boy, wouldn't a Ma Deuce look sweet on my trailer hitch?
1894 Winchester
1895 Winchester
A-5 Browning Shotgun
1911A1 (.45acp and .38 Super)
Colt Woodsman
Browning Hi-Power
Once I finish my chores I think a trip to the range is in order.

I own a Vest Pocket clone, but have access to several of those on the list. But keep in mind that the Browning Designs such as the "Falling Link" are incorporated into more pistols than you can shake your Boomstick at.
That's not even to mention the calibers he invented.
1903 Pocket Hammerless, 1908 Pocket Hammerless, 1908 Vest Pocket, 1911.
1892 Winchester.
Not mentioned on your list is the FN-Browning 1905 Depose, nearly the same gun as the 1908 Vest Pocket.
I was responsible for the M2HB on my tank, does that count?
Browning Citori and two 1911s.
A pair of 1911s and a 1903 built while John himself was still drawing breath and making boomsticks.
Not too many:
Remington 81 (descended from Rem 8)
1911 - 10 or 11 (depends on if a Colt Ace kit counts)
Browning 1886 and 1886 carbine (w86 repros)
Browning 1885 and 2 BCPRs
Winchester 1892
Winchester 1894 (6 of them)
Winchester 1895
Browning A-5
Remington 24 and a later Browning SA-22
Winchester 62 (grandson of W1890)
Browning High Power (2)
Ithaca 37 (4)
Naw, the man had no impact on my life.
Cheers, Medium Sized Jake
Nine unique models here. Don't forget the Auto-5 debuted as a Remington - which became the Model 11.
Do ten 1911's count?
