Nice one BulletBob, Would love to see a picture of yours out of the holster if you have one. Like those grips too. Thanks, Shoo

I am quite fond of my HP. It's always worked great. (and looked good doing it)

 

[shooboy]

Thanks Lynnie, Shoo

I have one that tears my hand open every time I shoot it. (It needs a hammer like Bullet Bob's.) Stupid thing!

I have a 1971 Belgium that looks like new having action job as we speak. Just got a Practical looks like the one in the Gunsite? holster they shoot great. the newer one was owned by a department pistol smith and was so slick it needs nothing, well maybe Novak gold dot front sights. Hard to beat that older than me design.

I bought this one 10 years ago and had the hammer bobbed to avoid pinching the web of my hand. I had a wide trigger installed to remove the mag safety (yes, I'm aware of the arguments for and against. I still have the factory parts to restore if I sell the gun). I replaced the rubber stocks with some checkered Micarta panels. I like this pistol, but my 1911 is easier to shoot well and more accurate. This is my third Hi-Power. The first was a target sighted 9mm that I traded for a Novak customized 9mm. The original owner realized his mistake and several years later asked me if I'd part with the Novak. I shouldn't have, but I did. I've always liked the Browning, but I prefer larger calibers, so I got this .40. It is a fine gun and I really need to shoot it more. Eventually I'll replace the ambi-safety with a port-side only paddle.
