A few years ago I picked up a rusted and ugly Browning Baby very cheap.
I took it home, detail stripped it, got the rust off (still badly pitted), re blued the slide and generally cleaned it up. I had to replace one part. By the way, don't ever detail strip yours as getting it back together is incredibly difficult.
The safety ONLY prevents you from pulling the trigger. If you have the pistol cocked there is a striker that is held by a notch that is probably less than one sixteenth of an inch deep. There is no striker block or any other mechanism to prevent an accidental discharge.
Under no terms should you ever carry the pistol cocked. If you drop it with the pistol cocked there is a high probability that it will go off. If you saw the striker arrangement you would have no confidence in carrying the pistol in your pocket cocked and ready to fire.
Mine is incredibly reliable and will shoot as fast as I can pull the trigger. But the utility of the pistol is diminished by the inability to carry it ready to fire.
