Before I digress into John Moses Browning related questions, let me make at least part of my post on topic: If there isn't one, why not? A limited run/group purchase from a reputable manufacturer isn't all that difficult to set up. Hell, 2d MEB jumped on the Para bandwagon and did an ungodly ugly doublestack 1911 last year, limited to a few thousand pistols. Given the refined status of the fine gentlemen and ladies who peruse this site, one would think that it would be an easy task to come up with something much more appropriate.
Now that that's out of the way...
A friend and I were talking the other day about Browning, Tesla, and a few others, all inventors. The main topic was why we don't see more inventors like these people today. Is it just that corporate and government entities have snatched them all up? Maybe there's more of a glut of 'pure' engineers today, and some would-be inventors of this class get lured away into it? Maybe we're just becoming too stupid/lazy/complacent/etc in this country? All of the above?
Sure, we've got a lot of people coming up with crap out there, but Browning invented machines that are, with some tweaks here and there, are still being used today. Ditto for Tesla (who's biography is fascinating, by the way).
Sorry for the threadjack. I've been drinking...
