I have the same issue with my sig 229. The only handgun I really like and shoot well is the Browning Hi-Power

My first high quality pistol was a Browning Hi-Power. I bought it new from King’s Hardware in Defuniak Springs.

This was 1969 and I was afraid that the Gun Control act of 1968 would affect it’s availability. Mr. King told me they could still order them so I had them do so.

It cost $104.50 and came with a pistol rug. It was a beautiful gun. Deep highly polished blue/black finish. It is long gone but I still have two Argentine made ones which are functionally identical.

They fit my hand better than any other pistol. Maybe that great fit is why it has always been easy for me to hit with it.
