“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Just got a T Series a week ago. Goes along with my C Series and my Practical.
And while I at the hospital and still waiting for the stent to be put in today a 1967 Baby Browning with soft case and paperwork fell into my lap.This message has been edited. Last edited by: shovelhead,

I'd love to have it....count me in. I carried one for the bulk of my first tour in Vietnam, 1970. Unable to bring it home, in December of that year due to USAF regulations, I passed it on to my successor, another Birddog FAC, USAF O-1E with 5th Special Forces.
Best regards, Rodfac

A BHP was one of the first service pistols I ever bought. I knew about them from reading SigForum, and many SFers considered it “the most beautiful pistol ever designed”. As others did, I communicated with Mr. Camp and he was very helpful. As for my BHP, Bruce Gray did some work on it which improved the trigger but it still has a very uncomfortable trigger, and I rarely shoot it.
