Here in the U.S. many consider the 1911 to be the greatest handgun design by John Browning. Globally speaking, the 1911 never achieved much success in military and law enforcement circles.
The Hi-Power was Brownings last handgun design before passing away in 1926. By 1935 the Hi-Power was well on its way to becoming the most successful military/police handgun - ever. It was adopted by over 50 countries and countless police agencies. To this day is a highly cherished handgun around the world. It's a shame he didn't live to see how great his final pistol would become.

I picked this pistol up out of Shotgun News for $425. It's a European import, most likely an old police service pistol.
Questions and comments are welcome.
