Has anyone else here had any experience with these? I bought one at the end of April and while it shoots great, i've had some serious problems with the safeties, seems like it could be a quality control issue. Already sent it to their parts & service department and it was returned without anything being fixed. Has anyone here had any problems with these?

Thanks y'all.

I have two of these pistols - the second one with night sights. I have not had any problems with the safeties on either pistol. What kind of problems are you having with the safeties?

The grip safety likes to stay down/in the engaged position, and if you pinch the right side thumb safety between 2 fingers you can pull it away from the frame. It probably wouldn't be too hard to break it off with just 2 fingers.

I'm glad to hear you haven't had any problems with yours. I really like this pistol and it shoots great so i've been hoping I was just unlucky and got a bad one.

That is too bad. I have had to return a few guns myself. Even the best manufacturers turn out a lemon now and then. I would call Browning at this point.

I've already sent it back once before. They test fired it and sent it back without fixing it. I just shipped it out to them again on Friday, so with any luck i'll get it back fixed this time around.

Has anyone seen one of the new pro models with night sights and rail for a light? Seems like a perfect gun for my significant other who has tiny hands.
