I have a browning gold 3 1/2 inch. I like the way it absorbs recoil, if it fires. I've owned some bad gas autos, but this one gets the faulty engineering prize. I clean it perfectly evertime I use it, but its problems are simply random and unsurmountable. Sometimes it doesn't feed right. Sometimes I get a light trigger strike. Some 3 1/2 inch are actually too long to clear the ejection port after firing!! How could Browing have designed such a gun? Don't buy one, especially used, because you may end up with mine. I'll never trust Browning again. Buy something else.
