This Browning High Power made in 1975 didn't work the first time I operated it. The problem was the safety kept engaging during the first magazine somewhere around the 5th or 6th round.
The owner (which is a reasonably okay guy) told me I was holding the pistol incorrectly. Now I may not know a ton about guns, however, I was in the NYPD for 20 years and fired many guns.
The owner took me to his range (which I had to pay $25 guest fee) and he said to hold the pistol lower on the grip...what BS!
As it turns out I took it to a gunsmith (Brilliant guy) who took it apart and found that the safety detent had been replaced with an incorrect part. ($100 repair and lesson learned)
Thank you all for your continued input and guidance.
