When I stare deeply into my Browning Belgium made Hi Power, the only thing I can see in the highly polished bluing is the great big smile I get every time.

I guess if its your opinion then you must have been bottling it up for a reason and it was a good reason at that.
1911s are ugly too........but only when next to a BHP. I wish you good luck as I begin forming a mob with pitchforks to come after you.

You, sir, must be the guy that exclusively banged fat chicks in high school, and are now upset with all the rejection from the beautiful chicks and take that anger out on the BHP, one of the greatest beauties known to man, next to the 1911.

You think a BHP is ugly and a Glock is beautiful? You compare a BHP to a Hi-Point? Nothing looks more like a Hi-Point than a Glock. They are both hideous. What the hell is wrong with you?!

The HP is almost everything a handgun should be. If I could only have one in .45 or 10mm.

The JMB designed Hi-Power is a classic design(granted), ergonomic to a fault(with some thinner grips). has a couple of minor faults(that miniscule manual safety, and the spur hammer). It feels good, I shoot well with it, what more should I ask for?...I consider John Moses Browning a higher power.

Beautiful or not, are they safe to carry cocked and locked? I've heard varying opinions but nothing definitive. It seems not right to carry a single action auto if you can't have it cocked and locked.

those all black BHP are damn purty. But what do I know, I think my Glock 23 is as nice looking as any gun.

If I ever had to go back in the Blood and the Mud, I would take my Glock 34 and the 33 round magazines as a backup to my rifle, only because I would not expose any one of my three Browning High Powers, two nines and one fourty, to such brutal treatment even tho they could take it as the high power served in many wars!
Have you ever held one in your hand, fits like a fine leather glove, not the 1x4block feeling of the Glock. Take out the magazine disconnect safety and a litlle trigger work and you will have a single action trigger like a fine 1911. Beautiful and Classic Browning by most anyone's standards!

Sorry guys, no matter how many claim BHP's look good, to me they are flat out ugly. Makes the XD looks good - not an easy thing.

No accounting for taste, or the lack thereof.

Nope. I'll just suffer along with my ugly old Colts, Ed Brown, Wilson, Smith wheelguns and such.

Am I the only one that thinks High Powers are ugly?
It was designed by Jonathan Moses Browning. To call it 'ugly' is blasphemous! We must stone you to death!

I watch this thread to find the few people that actually agree with me...
Like I've said all along, I'm not sure exactly why I find it so ugly, although I've pointed out a few things that bug me... With that said, I find the 1911 to be one of the BEST looking guns ever made... and there's not THAT much difference in them. Sorry guys.
