Name that gun
Help Terry out. I can’t tell but it looks to be either a Browning High Power or a 1911.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Browning High Power. Good call.

I’m calling tokarev, you can see the rounded hammer… maybe.
Any better photos?

I think it’s a 1911. The slide doesn’t have the same high cuts at the front that blend into the dust cover that hi powers have. The only other thing that is even remotely helpful is that I can’t find any pics of hi powers that have the slide serrations cut that far to the rear. That, and it’s missing the frame mounted safety that hi powers have, but I don’t know much about the hi power, so I don’t know what variations exist.
It helps if you download that pic and zoom in on the gun.

Hmm, yeah it does match up with a Tokarev better than the 1911 or the hi power.

Whatever it is, the back of the slide looks to be angled quite a bit.

Heres the comment I left over there:
Yeah, it looks like a tokarev or tokarev variant (or possibly the Chinese, Polish, Yugoslavian, or Egyption copies).
The Tokarev shares a resemblance with the BHP and 1911 forward of the trigger guard, but has a distinctive rounded rear slide. If the butt was more visible we could be more certain, but the grip angle also looks like a Tokarev; and is definitely NOT a 1911 or BHP.

[…] A bit back I asked for help identifying a gun. Well, Terry has posted a non-answer: The answer is that the gun is a working replica of a Chinese .45 automatic — or at least that’s what I was told via my translator. […]
