If it's an Argentine FM (licensed copy) or Hungarian FEG clone I would still look at it and be sure to check the areas I mentioned in my prior post. The FMs and FEGs can be decent guns.

I have heard that the extractor springs in FEGs can often be of questionable quality and lead to failures to extract and eject, this can be cured by installation of a Wolff extra-power spring.

BTW Brownings and FNs are the same pistols, just with different markings, Browning is just an importer and is actually owned by FN Herstal.
