I got my high polished blue BHP this past week from CDNNNNNNNNNNN. Came with the two Browning mousetrap ('spring assist') mags.

My first shots were Thursday night at a local steel shoot so no groups.

Yesterday I got out to shoot some groups. I shot Speer 124GD +P and WWB 115 9mm. No failures of any kind after 75-80 rounds total.

Here is my best group (my first group actually):

Looks sweet. Can't go wrong with a future collectible.

And THAT is the one best reason to own a 9mm. Very nice. :cool:

A very nice Hi-Power; congratulations. Browning/FN does a magnificent job with their polishing and blueing on these Standard models, and the new adjustable rear sight is far less protrusive than its predecessor (and it looks less like a 1930s Soviet tank turret).

Best, Jon
