I bought my BHP for my high school graduation present in 1972. Paid $113.00 for it. New. It came in a zippered Browning case with the manual inside with the pistol. Along then Lee Juras introduced his line of "Super Vel" ammo. His 112 gr soft points would shatter an 8" concrete block. I was impressed! I shot lots of supere-vel ammo in my HP. Then I started reloading and went from there. I still have my HP although its mostly retired now. It still gets shot on occasion.
