Browning

[Douglas Jr.]

I always though the HP35 as the ultimate FN Browning design.
I managed to get a WWII era made under German occupation (sorry, they are collectable) and a T-Series made in the early 60s - I still kept both.

A customer turned in one of those Portuguese assembled FNs to me and asked me to put tritium sights on it, and I test fired it after I was done. First two rounds at 7-8 yards were really disappointing, I thought I only hit the target with one round. I fired a third and a fourth round with the same result: No more holes so I thought I missed the target entirely. Then I walked up to have a closer look, and found that the hole in the target was a very tight clover leaf, so all four round have actually hit the same hole. After I had the sights adjusted correctly I shot another two rounds at 15 yards, and I think the picture speaks for itself.

I tried to buy this gun from the customer, but he said "out of my cold, dead hands". Those Hi-Powers are amazing guns.
