Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The FN/Browning International Medalist in .22 Long Rifle with a 5 7/8-inch barrel is a classic European target pistol that blends precision-minded engineering with refined finish and ergonomics—built by FN in Belgium for Browning’s international lineup, it presents a long, rigid barrel and an extended sight radius that immediately communicate its purpose as a slow-fire, bench and bullseye tool rather than a pocket plinker. Typically a single-action semi-automatic with a crisp, light trigger and a tight slide-to-frame fit, the Medalist family often came with a heavy or semi-bull barrel contour and a finely adjustable rear sight paired to a narrow, sharp front blade (many examples wear target tangs or rear-sight windage/elevation clicks), so the pistol rewards careful trigger work with remarkably consistent groups when paired with good match ammunition. Ergonomically it usually features target-style grips—checkered wood or molded target panels that encourage a high, stable hold—and a slim, well-pointing grip frame that helps shooters find a natural, repeatable hand position; magazines are single-stack and commonly supplied in the 8–10 round range depending on market and import rules, and the feed geometry plus a well-engineered extractor/ejector give dependable cycling with mainstream high-quality .22 loads. Field-stripping and maintenance are straightforward for an experienced owner, and the pistol’s fine machining, tuned barrel crown and careful barrel-to-slide fit combine to make it a sought-after piece for collectors and target shooters alike. Variants and production-year differences matter—sight contours, barrel finishes and grip styles vary—so collectors and precision shooters look closely at serial ranges, sight options and original accessories when assessing value; in practical terms, a well-set Medalist 5 7/8" is a charming, accurate, and durable rimfire target pistol that feels more at home on the slow-fire line than in a casual pocket holster.
