What kind of gun is the Browning gold?

I always thought the Gold (1994-2007)* was underappreciated. It’s a soft-shooting, easy-cleaning gun that begat the Winchester Super X2/Super X3/Browning Silver family, all of which use its gas system. For a time it was the only semiauto that wasn’t a Beretta that anyone used for serious sporting clays.
