The Browning Hi Power is a long established favorite for many, now of course available also in .40 cal. This BHP Practical has a few features that make it even better than standard - including ambi safety and in this case some Uncle Mike's grips which give a very good feel. This one however just has fixed sights, which are no disadvantage.
Accuracy and reliability are legendary, as one would expect from a classic JMB design. Although it is heavy on ammunition, it is rather satisfying to shove in a 30 round mag - just for the hell of it!
