The 1935 Browning Hi-Power is not just a great John Browning design but it lead the pack in wide body, big stack, mag cap. Up thru the 70’s it was the only one. And I well remember the other makers working their buttsoff trying to get a couple more rounds in a mag. S&W punched out the 39 to the 59, with 15 rounds, to get into the game. And it took off from there.

I’ve had some beauties over the years. My fav was probly the tangent sight model with shoulder stock. Eat your heart out——
