This compact steel-frame pistol uses a fixed-barrel blowback system with the recoil spring surrounding the barrel. It is striker-fired, single-action, with a 3.5 in barrel and an overall length of approximately 6.0 in, offering a 6+1 capacity in .380 ACP.
The slide features a matted anti-glare top rib and fixed sights: a small integral front blade and a fixed rear notch. The blued finish extends over the slide and frame, maintaining the classic FN profile.
Safety equipment includes a manual safety, a grip safety, and a magazine disconnect. These features reflect the maker’s emphasis on practical handling and carry-friendly operation for a compact sidearm of its era.

Also known in North America as the Browning Model 1955, this example represents the pre-1968 GCA Browning import configuration.
