Hi folks.
My wife bought me a gorgeous 1972 model Browning Hi Power for Christmas. It came with the original Browning zipper case and the seller even included his original purchase receipts.
I am absolutely in love with this pistol. It's dead-nuts accurate, perfectly reliable so far, and it fits into all of my 1911 holsters. Operation-wise, it's essentially the same as my 1911's, so I should be able to transition back and forth without too much trouble... except...
... the thumb safety is incredibly easy to disengage. I carried the pistol for a couple of hours in a 1911 Yaqui Slide holster and found the safety got disengaged. I've since stopped carrying it.
Is the thumb safety supposed to be this easy to swipe on and off, or is there a chance something is missing or broken?
Thanks,
Steve
