New to TargetTalk...

Post by Howard_c »

This is my first post on TargetTalk. I shot Bullseye 20 years ago with a Model 41. As I got older priorities changed and I sold the pistol and started a family. Well, the itch to at least shoot casually has returned, and being a left handed shooter I have been looking around for a nice used 41. It seems the majority of the guns on the line when I was competing were Model 41's and Victors so these guns were my focus. I ran across an ad on the one of the forums for a Browning Medlaist with Left Hand factory target grips. Not being familiar with this gun, I did some research and was impressed with what I found. I went ahead and made the trade and look forward to getting back into the game. My gun was made in 1968. It's not prestine but the insides are good and I'm sure it will shoot accurately way beyond my ability. I'll try and post a picture and I look forward to reading the knowledge shared on this forum.

Welcome to TargetTalk.
As time permits you will find some very interesting topics in all the arenas here. We have some very distinguished & accomplished shooters here.
The Smith 41 is a classic, as are the Brownings, High-Standards, Rugers, they will perform nicely under the best of the brands. Congratulations on your Browing Medalisit and getting back into competitive Bullseye.

I have never seen timber in front of the trigger in that shape before. Is it unique or have others seen this?

The forend can be removed and replaced with one of (3) wieghts if the shooter so desires. So far, I like the weight and balance of gun as is.

Browning Medalist

The Medalist is a truly beautiful firearm...one that was far out of my reach back in my High Standard S-101 days. Don't drill any holes in it!
Best, --j (88 slow fire tonight; don't ask about the rest!)
