    Looks good Greg. I've found that if you have a problem being consistent the "cheap" black browning grips always do the trick. They force your thumbs into the ideal position.

    Personally I'm using black G10 grips right now.

    Wow man. My girlfriend walked into the room as I was looking at that picture, and she exclaimed, "Nice!"

    The Hi-Powers trip me out with that pinched front. Range report needed! What are you going to put threw it? Just some white box?

    I had some cheapo Galco (I think) I got off a buddy. I haven't carries it since
    The house fire last year because I the holster disappeared while they were working on the house.

    Being that I wear a coat/tie a lot I'm looking for a modular shoulder rig to carry the HP, Kimber, or one of my revolvers by just changing out the holster part.

    Hi Power with sexy grips? I'm in....




    Fantastic gun! Don't baby it - that thing was born to shoot. Don't make it a closet queen (doesn't sound like you will).

    Can we get a range report? How does she run?

    Loves me some BHP35. Used to have one that was built in tne early 40s that was issued to Canadian forces. Im a sucker for old heavy steel 9s like the HP and CZ.

    NICE! Loves me some BHP action! I've got a nice FEG and a nice Browning Practical.

    I used to be ALL about 1911s and .45s in general. But for the past several years my nines are all I ever shoot or care about anymore in pistol calibers. Last May I bought a S&W M&P9 and I like that even better than the Hi-Powers. Flawless fit & finish and reliability. But my HPs will be backup for sure! (And my daily carry piece for the past several years has been a Kahr CW9, so that's always one of my faves.)
