Home > Browning L9A1


The Browning L9A1 is a semi-automatic pistol, firing a 9×19 mm bullet from a 13-round magazine. It has been the standard sidearm of the British Army since 1957, succeeding the Enfield No.2 Mk.I revolver. The weapon is very, very similar to the Browning Hi-Power or GP35, but with an Army designation, L9A1 - Land use, 9 mm, mArk 1.

The weapon is ineffective against modern body armour and the Army has been testing replacements for some time. Various offerings from SIG, Heckler und Koch, and Carl Walther have already been adopted by other arms of the British military.
