Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Browning P35 Hi Power was the first of the double column 9mm pistols. It holds 13+1. The .40 S&W variant holds 10+1. The P35 is a single action pistol — the hammer has to be manually cocked for the first shot (if it is down on a loaded chamber).

I think you forgot the "sarcasm" icon.

(For the few here who are not admirers of John Moses Browning, the Browning P35 (model 1935) has come equipped with 13 round magazines from the factory since the beginning, hence the designation "Hi-Power". Mec-Gar makes a flush-fitting 15 round magazine with a thinner follower. This is pre-WW2 technology. Browning/FN has made 10 round magazines since the old AWB days and for Bolshevik US states, but they're probably ROFL at the thought of making 7 round magazines just for New York. Nobody is gonna bother to make 7 round mags for anything except a 1911.)

The hi-power, named for its mag capacity, holds 13. 13 nine isn’t really all that impressivve either.

Someone good at swapping mags can get 14 45’s out almost as fast as a hi-power guy can pull the trigger.
