I have this thing for European 9mms.

That
is a beauty!
The BHP is my favorite shooter pistol.
The first one I ever saw belonged to a friend who owned a small general store. I used to watch the store for him when I was teenager and he kept an old wartime HP under under the counter.
I noticed it fit my hand
really well. Several years later I bought a new one and never regretted it.
Mine has the "epoxy" finish that Browning started using in the 80's. I was skeptical about how it would wear but almost ~30 years and thousands of rounds later it still looks almost new.
I still keep my eyes open for a reasonably priced tangent sight model.
