Browning 9mm High Power
« on: April 19, 2024, 09:24:07 AM »
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.

If you could find one today in mint condition it would cost a good buck.

Last time i shot one was in 2002. If i lived in the US i would have one under my pillow  :) I was a marksman with it, probably not now though but i can still do a "Double Tap"

This thread may be considered frightening for some posters. Can you take this somewhere, so Funk doesn’t see it? Thanks in advance guys.

Funk is a good guy & not everyone has or must have served in the Police/Military. I just like the idea of being able to shoot pistols or other weapons legally as in the US. Guns are not for everyone but i agree with Charlton Heston ..

Those electronic sights are outstanding but hard to find a concealment holster for it. If you live in a cold weather environment I guess it would be no problem to conceal.  I like to dress nice, no homo and I want to conceal when I carry. I gravitate toward accurate small firearms. Big guns don't fit that criteria of concealment. It's fun going to range with the electronic sight because it makes even average shots into good shots. I'm sticking with traditional sights. My only gun that doesn't have traditional sites is my Sig 365 SAS.  I don't shoot it too well but in close quarters combat  it should work well. For target shooting tiny groups it stinks.

I forgot my carbine has electronic sights. I use an AimPoint site on it. Batteries last five years.

Glock 43?  I had one but gave it to my son in law for off duty whose department only lets them carry glocks.  Unlike most other people I actually like the factory sites.

Try TRex arms for your holster or We The People

They make holsters for firearms with electronic sights?

By electronic, I assume you mean like a red dot? Yes, they both do. I use the We The People holder and belt but I don’t run slide mounted optics on my carry(s)

You’ve been posting this same video for like 2 years now as if it’s some kind of blanket statement for all shooters

It’s okay, Funk. You’re still a gun control guy AKA give the federal government more control over the citizens’ dwindling constitutional rights.

Heston starred in some dire dystopia movies so it's understandable he stood by his firepower.
