Browning 9mm High Power

[visualizeperfection]

BHP OOB has feeding/ramp issues. Needs some ramp work. Also, the mag disconnect is weird and I don't like it. It's a gorgeous gun, but I would never carry one.

Welcome back stud!

It's funny how for a lot of people, bodybuilding can be like some sort of gateway activity to some of the darker parts of life.  Example:  Someone I know well ran a small gym for a few years in the mid '90s, and being in his '20s he struggled to say no to almost any idea as it started off being exciting.  (Coincidentally, the gym was pretty near a British Army Ordnance Depot - this is relevant to this thread)

Selling/injecting gear into people?  Logical side-line. Bouncing/sourcing small security rings?  Of course.  Let someone film bespoke porn films in your gym (who later turns out to 'collect' guns)?  Sexy...

But before you know it, it becomes - Deliver a bunch of old fashioned tasers to Blackpool?  Er...  Provide security for a big drop in Liverpool?  Maybe someone else can... Got a place for these 3 Brownings while the Military Police lose interest..?  Yelp!

Luckily my friend turned out OK - bit of a degenerate - but not a bad fella all things considered

I have a mint Springfield m1903 , but id also love a glock, beretta handgun and shotgun, some sort of magnum or revolver, m249saw, a bazooka and also a nuke if I were allowed .

what does out shoot mean?

I mean people are always trying to buy the most accurate gun or upgrade barrels..the barrels in these guns people always complain “shoot all over the place”..no, you just suck! lol

Glock, sigs, H&K(which I hate..they all make good stricter fire guns, they are super reliable, and you will never be more accurate than it.

was chatting with Oldtimer1 about pistols & this was my baby the Browning High power which was standard issue for us, maybe better ones now but what do you guys use / Carry?
Before taking the piss out of the guy in the video, he passed 22 SAS in the UK & Later Passed the Rhodesian SAS . A very hard guy.  He is correct in that the Browning was a beautiful pistol.

Legit unintentional ASMR

I've competed in shooting comps my entire life.

I can take a stock Glock 19 and smoke people with Staccotos, etc.

Just have to learn how to dial in.

My Sig P320 XFive Legion shoots like a dream. Much smoother than a Glock, but i can't deny the ability of a Glock in any way.

My sig p320 spectre comp had a catastrophic disassembly at around 800 rounds..it was at a class that some sig guys were also taking..I got taken care of and replaced it with a p320 max which I love.

The gun I carry every day now is the p320 axg legion comp, or my ported staccato p..both have Aimpoint acros…I can’t do iron sight for shit at 25 yards and further due to my eye issues from TBI

I have carried a lot of different firearms but my choices aren't what most gun enthusiast would chose. I know if you're fighting in the worst case scenarios you want to enter going first class but I carry just for self defense now. My top priority is concealment, good accuracy and reliability. In general I hate dressing according to carrying. I need a small gun. I alternate between the Sig 365 with conventional sights and a Smith J frame model 60. I have better options but it doesn't meet my desires of concealment.

 It seems every civilian is carrying a duty sized gun with optics. They must wear over sized untucked shirts all the time.

 Like you have deteriorating eyes and I rarely target shoot anymore. I just don't enjoy cleaning guns and I clean them to perfection after every shoot.  I know I could get my skills back in a week by shooting a couple hundred rounds but I haven't in a long time.  According to the Federal law I carry under I just qualify twice a year.

   Regarding my deteriorating eyesight I bought a Sig 365 SAS. I thought the unconventional glowing big green sight would just be like an aimpoint which is an accurate easy to use sight. I find the SAS hard to hit with compared to conventional sights. I guess for combat and not for target shooting it has a role. I only carry the sig 365 with conventional sights now. It would take a ton of practice for me to shoot the SAS accurately. On an opposing view I know a guy that swears by the SAS sighting system and says he can't miss. Go figure.

I’ve heard of Sigs falling apart too many times to ever own one. I don’t shoot competitively or as a “fun” hobby. The sole purpose of every gun I own is to carry for protection. Glock can’t be beat.

The glock 43 and the Sig 365 are almost exactly the same size. I owned both. If I was going to bet I would guess the Glock would last longer.  The Sig has a light years better trigger. I gave the Glock to my son in law who is a cop and his department only lets them carry Glock firearms.  I might be the only person ever that likes the Glock factory sights.  Every one swaps them out but I think for combat to 25 yards they are big and easy to pick up.  The Sig sights are better for getting pin point groups.  I use to be an outstanding shot but due to eye sight and never going to the range I turned into  just an okay shot. I really should get to a range at least once a month.

Browning hi-power is a classic and a great gun..but we do have better options now..the gun doesn’t make the shooter.

I have been shooting competition since I was around 9…30 years later I can tell you for a fact that myself or no one else in the world can out shoot a Glock, sig, cz, H&K or any other big name barrel. This statement is exclusive to handguns because it’s fairly easy to outshoot most production rifle barrels.

Save the weight and go with ease of use, disassembly, and reliability.

I have both Glocks and a CZ, I use the G17 or 19 for comps but as much as I love my Glocks I feel the CZ is an over all better firearm. Just a solidly built gun. Just my opinion. Heavier than the Glock and less muzzle flip. The last couple of years I've been doing USPSA comps but this year will be switching to IDPA and will more than likely use the CZ for that.

The smallest gun I own is a plethora of glock 19’s..everything else are 17’s and 34’s..same with everything else.
