The Capitan variant stands out with its tangent ladder rear sight calibrated 50–500 and a square front blade. This example does not have a shoulder-stock slot on the backstrap, aligning with later production features from the 1990s era. The external case label’s product code 2405144 matches Browning’s catalog designation for the Capitan model.
Made in Belgium and assembled in Portugal, the pistol bears the correct factory roll marks and the Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah & Montreal, P.Q. importer address. Its full-size steel frame and slide wear a blue/black finish with rear slide serrations and a rowel (ring) hammer, presenting the classic Hi-Power profile.
Mechanically, it uses a short-recoil, single-action (SAO) system with an ambidextrous manual thumb safety. The 4.7-inch barrel and 10+1 capacity in 9mm Luger deliver the established Hi-Power format that collectors and enthusiasts expect from this period.
This pistol is customized with aftermarket Pachmayr wrap-around rubber grips that provide a secure, hand-filling hold. The two included 10-round steel magazines feature baseplates marked "MADE IN U.S.A."
