Browning Gold triggers...???

Does the gold colored trigger signify anything? Os is it just a gold colored trigger???

For instance, back a few years, Mack trucks had just silver bulldog emblems... But then with the advent of turbo chargers in the industry, a gold colored bulldog signified that the truck was a turbo model while a silver dog was naturally aspirated...

I don't know if they're gold ...or brass...or whatever - and then just have a coat of lacquer over them to keep them from tarnishing...

Its just a marketing thing.../ I don't think it signifies anything specifically...a lot of the Browning models have had gold triggers for a long time..( I don't even know when it started )....you must be bored today, if that's what's on your mind ...??? geez....

and as a note...( since I worked for Peterbilt for 20 yrs.....I thought the Mack Bulldog was just lame...) ...

You probably already know that old truckers never die, they just get a new Peterbilt...!

The triggers are plated with 24K gold.

http://thefiringline.com/forums/atta...2&d=1226363017 shot this 20ga BPS yesterday ...and managed a semi respectable 92 out of 100 in Skeet...( and only forgot to pump it once all day...)...I had not shot that gun in at least 15 yrs probably .../ but my buddy challenged me to a "pump gun day"...so I had to step up ! I think the BPS 20ga was new in 1988...

Nah, I still own one, but it is sitting more and more in the safe as I play with the wife's Beretta A400. I am REALLY liking this gun - it even shoots my 3/4oz reloads, is light, fast, soft recoiling, and a trigger about as bad as the Browning.

One of these days, when I hit the lotto, I am going to buy a P of K gun just to have a great trigger..............

I hope you wash after you've been playing with that Beretta....before you touch a quality product like a Browning....
