The Hi Power has long been one of my favorite handguns from an aesthetic standpoint, and it is definitely a classic. I also have one of the FN made Israeli police trade ins. I’ve shot it, but not a lot, and it mostly just sits in my safe. As much as I like the Hi Power, for me, having done the vast majority of my handgun shooting and carrying with striker fired types, the idea of having to disengage a manual safety on the draw just isn’t something I feel like training myself to do, so my BHP is likely to remain mostly a collectible.

Although to be fair, I don’t seem to have an issue with manually operating the safety on an AR when getting on and coming off target...so I could probably learn to do with with a pistol too. I just don’t want to.
