BHP is one of the most svelte of the 9mm's there is. Compared to a 92F or other service sized pistol it's almost waspish.
While plastic has come into fashion, it has not rendered steel obsolete. Browning's big drawback has been the high price. Surplus FNs have flooded the market recently, offering would-be consumers considerable savings.
Would the BHP be 'better' with a rail? Doubtful. But an aluminum alloy frame and night sights certainly make it better. I suspect it will soldier on as clones continue to pop up and surplus guns are in circulation.
