This is a recent number that I fell in love with; the Browning Hi Power. Wait, you say, these things are as common as flying bull$hit in a White House press conference.

Well this one is one of about 1500 to 1800 Hi Powers manufactured in 7.65x21 (a/k/a .30 Luger), the old grandpappy to the 9mm. The .30 Luger Hi Powers were manufactured in one run in 1981, and I was recently able to acquire one. It’s thinner in the slide, feels lighter, has better sights than the original 9mm, and in a pinch you can use a 9mm mag.

Mine shoots Fiocchi 93gr JSP and I’m starting a project to load Hornady’s 90gr XTP which they make in .309”. My only two mods were to remove the infamous magazine disconnect and install a set of BHSS’ heirloom grade master grips in European walnut.

Shooting gets me just over 1250fps, 300 ft-lbs of energy and consistency with an SD under 15 using the Fiocchi 93 gr JSP.
