In 1977, Browning introduced a pump gun inspired by John Browning's designs. Bottom-ejecting guns like the BPS admit less debris into their actions than side-eject guns, which have both ejection and loading ports, and they are often preferred by left-handed shooters. To make the design even more useful to lefties, Browning gave the BPS a top-tang safety. The BPS's fit and finish meet Browning's usual high standards. It was the ducks unlimited gun of the year for years 1984-85, 1996-97, 1999-2000, 2002-03. 1406935 EMM-CN
