Hope you mean the classic Browning Hi-Power, all blue steel & wood. I have two, and my wife & I each qualified for our CCWs with the HP.
We learned that the original safety is somewhat hard to disengage with the gun holstered with it on before each firing drill. A larger late model safety lever should solve that.
Anyway, a happy ending to jihadi-with-machete meets infidel-with-pistol story.
