[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 2945660, member: 15253"] Cheapshot, based on the pic you posted (not your gun, but one like it I assume), you have one of the pistols that FM manufactured in Argentina under license from FN, sometime in the 1969-1989 time period. There is absolutely nothing wrong with one of these guns because they were built on machinery purchased from FN, made by workers trained and supervised by FN employees, and were made as exact, licensed copies of the FN/Browning Hi Power. They usually sport some sort of military phosphate finish--rather than the traditional BHP high polish blue--but they function every bit as well as an FN/Browning built pistol of the time. I hope I did not come off as condescending--I meant nothing of the sort. I once owned a M90 built by FM in Argentina, and it was a fine pistol. As a bonus, your FM has 100% parts interchangeability with the FN/Browning Hi Power, since it was a licensed copy of the same. Enjoy your new pistol! As said, I had an M90 myself, and it was a wonderful pistol. [/QUOTE]
