A Browning Hi-Power, vintage T Series, with gorgeous bluing, perfectly checkered walnut stocks, and a ring hammer. Really loved the ergonomics of the gun and it was just so good looking! Those of course were the positives; the negatives were the real deal breakers! A trigger pull that was over 12 pounds, a thumb safety that required a plastic mallet to put it on and off, and then there were those oh-so-tiny sights! Accuracy was definitely lacking as in Minute of Barn with this one so down the road it went.
Runner up to the Hi-Power (if indeed that's some kind of an award!), was a stainless Walther PPK/s which had the dubious distinction of being the only gun I had that not only frequently jammed but also dropped it's magazine without any effort on my part. The double action trigger was also terrible. Again I was probably more in love with the Walther mystique but it just didn't work out. Said goodbye to this one as well.
