Test fire FN 1905

[alvin]

Bought this FN last month, got some ammo and tested it yesterday. Browning's design on 1905 had a serious issue -- the grip safety must be hold down tightly all the time when shooting, otherwise, the slide could not recoil to rearest position and the gun had feeding issue. On bigger Brownings, 1910 or 1922, holding the grip safety down all the time is not very hard, but on this tiny one that's not easy so the gun jammed almost every other round. My workaround was wrapping a rubber band around the pistol to disable the grip safety. It's awkward, but it worked well. After installing the band, it worked flawlessly. No wonder this grip safety was cancelled on later "Baby Browning".
