A lot the mentioned guns made much further than the Ruger XGI.

I'm liking your original intent on this thread.
My personal experience and memories, backed up by sifting the interwebs, made it clear.
The 80s didn't have a lot of flops. The 70s saw enough military/police experimentals to get a nod ,but the 90s IMO , where chock full of smokeless powder abominations.

I give you, the colt 2000 "all American "

You and me both.

Through the years I have seen a couple of FNCs for sale on FALfiles. One was from Arizona.

Late 80s early 90s before the Billy boy ban. A semi auto version of the Navy Seal S&W 76 mg made by M K Industries called the MK760. Shoots 9mm and uses Suomi stick mags.

No love for Hannibal and his Mini-14????

I just had to get me some Florida Bling in the 80s...

Sold it in the 90s, had to buy another recently to 'refill' the collection. Let me note they cost a lot more in 2021 than in 1987.

Slide could not be racked with a firing grip. Trying to do so looked like those monkeys that get caught with their fist in a hole in a coconut.
Ask me how I know.

The lines always remind me of the .45acp Semmerling repeater.
