Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning Challenger is a semi-automatic rimfire pistol recognized as the mid-grade option between the Nomad and Medalist. It was introduced to the American market in 1962, seeing a 23-year run with the final specimens coming off the production line in 1985. The challenger did not remain static. In fact, it saw several major evolutions over the years with the Challenger II and then the III. The original guns used a “U” as part of the serial number. The second iteration started in 1976 and ran through 1982. The final Challenger III was picked up in 1983 and carried through to the end of production. The Challenger offered two barrel lengths, 4.5 and 6.75 inches, with heavier options than the Nomad. Most wore wood grips, which were sometimes plain and sometimes checkered. There was a slide-stop latch, final-shot hold-open, and manual thumb safety. The Challenger made the move to a gold-plated trigger. Speaking of triggers, the Challenger allowed users to adjust both the trigger pull and trigger backlash, all features that carried over to the Medalist.
