Item Description: Translate description
The serial number on this Browning Challenger Pistol represents a 1971 production date (U= Challenger, 71= 1971). SPECS: 6.75" barrel, walnut wrap-around grips with outline checkering, gold grooved trigger, adjustable rear sight, Patridge front sight with pinned blade, rear slide serrations and 9-round magazine. CONDITION: This pistol is in nice condition with light wear, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: In 1914, Browning introduced the Woodsman, a recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered for .22 Long Rifle. This design gave birth to a trio of similar rimfire handguns in later years: Nomad, Challenger, and Medalist. Production spanned from 1962 to 1976, though not all three models were produced for that entire stretch, and later variants stretched into the early 1980s. The Nomad was the budget-friendly choice, the Challenger was a step above with a few added features, and the Medalist was the high-end, target-shooter’s selection. Numerous changes and variants exist among the group, but every model carried a reputation for accuracy. The Challenger is a semi-automatic rimfire pistol recognized as the mid-grade option between the Nomad and Medalist. It was introduced to the American market in 1962, seeing a 23-year run with the final specimens coming off the production line in 1985. The Challenger did not remain static. It saw several major evolutions over the years with the Challenger II and then the III. The original guns used a “U” as part of the serial number. The second iteration started in 1976 and ran through 1982. The final Challenger III picked up in 1983, and carried through to the end of production. FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
