I was in Salt Lake City for a couple weeks for locomotive engineer training and on my way home, I stopped in Ogden and went to the Browning Firearms Museum. Took some pics. Thought i'd share 'em with you all.

Thanks for posting!  Great pics!

That is one place I would love to see next time I am up in Utah.  I did see the Browning display at Lagoon many years ago but this has a lot more I believe.


Last picture... "Colt Commerative".  Never seen one of them before.

It still amazes me how much one man did for the firearms industry and military.

Great museum.

I visited lots of times.  Never took any pics.  Moved away.  

Two other museums in the building. Railroad museum is well worth a visit also.

What's up with the Beretta made .380 in picture 2?  Is the museum dedicated to the man or the importer of the same name?

Its a browning BDA in .380.

ETA:The Browning BDA 380 pistol was introduced in 1980 or so as a compact and lightweight pistol for police and civilian use. The gun was manufactured in Italy under contract from FN Herstal (Belgium) and marketed as FN model 140DA (in Europe) or Browning BDA 380 (in USA)

If Sarah Brady ever crossed the threshold of that place she would burst into flames.

You failed to mention that just about every weapon pictured IS THE ORIGINAL.

Been there numerous times:  Way back in 1987 my girlfriend was the museum director.

I heard ground has been broken on the new Gaston Glock wing of the building.
