I've never heard that term. When you say "Browning three shot", I assume you're talking about an FN A5 because, for some reason A-5's were often called Brownings while Remington Model 11's weren't, although in fact, the Remington model 11 was every bit as much a "Browning" as an FN A-5 was.

Remingtom manufactured a variation of a Model 11 called a "Sportsman" that was a three shot gun, not a five shot gun like the standard Model 11. Is that "Sportsman" model what you're referring to as a three shot Browning?
