Manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium for Browning, this Medalist reflects the classic Belgian target pistol build with polished blued steel throughout and Belgian proof marks. The fixed-top receiver with reciprocating breech block is characteristic of the model, and the gold-colored trigger is a distinctive factory touch. The serial code aligns with 1967 production.
The 6.75-inch bull barrel features a ventilated rib and is paired with target sights: a pinned Patridge front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear sight. This sight setup and barrel profile are designed for precise alignment and consistent point of aim.
The pistol is an all-steel, semi-automatic blowback design with a 10+1 capacity. It weighs approximately 46 ounces unloaded, offering a steady hold on target. The high-gloss checkered walnut target grip with flared base supports a firm, repeatable hand position.
The included factory barrel counterweight system, complete with mounting rod and threaded cylindrical weights, enables balance tuning to shooter preference. The fitted Browning presentation case with red lining provides a tailored storage and display solution for the pistol and its components.
