Folks can argue endlessly about the mechanical design. It was John Browning's last one and as such he designed it using 1920's engineering and materials. They are essentially "overbuilt". Where you can really see the difference between the Citori is in the quality of the engraving in the Super. All hand done vs roll or laser generated. Because its done by human hands there are a few inperfections to be seen, but I just enjoy them for what they are, a great gun and piece of history. GJ
