My biggest objection to the Browning Hi-Power is that since John M. Browning/Dieudonne Saive designed it as a 9MM it can't be manufactured as a 45 without major redesign and tooling. Mine fires lead bullets very well due to its barrel design, as a military weapon it is extremely easy to field strip for maintenance and as a Member of SNM (Sons of Neanderthal Man) I appreciate the steel frame. The Browning Hi-Power is to semiautomatic pistols as the S&W M&P/Model 10 is to DA revolvers-a true classic that has stood the Test of Time because its designers got it 90% right the first time.
