Browning Hp - Page 2

Hi everybody. I'm back.

The HP rules. I went to the range and used just one hand shooting. (This is practical shooting that I do and I like one hand shooting). All shots (pairs usually) where of the 1" to 1-1/2" close and this without ever shooting a gun like this before. no earlier practice.
Later while we all shut down for souvlaki and beer (Greek kinda barbeque, pieces of meat though a stick being roasted, usually fresh pork), some of the guys tried to shoot their pieces aiming for a man shaped target (1/4" metal plate, 3 ft tall, 6" body + 10" head wide) from a distance of around 200 ft. Most of them were shooting wonder nines and forties. It took them an average of 7-8 sots to get it. Well, guess what. My Browning used just one cartridge (9mm, one hand shooting). The only one I had been left with. HE ! HE ! No kidding. Neck hit ! It's a hell of a gun. I love it.

The High Power is a wonderful pistol. It's the only 9mm I own and honestly the P-35 is the 9mm that I'd concider carrying for personal protection. But then again, I like single action pistols and handguns with steel/metal frames.

I just had my FN out yesterday at the range. If I do my part, it does it's part.

Of course I cheat by putting on a set of CT Laser Grips. It's either that, or the Lasik, and the grips were a lot cheaper!
