This post will focus on a way to use a Hi-Power style pistol for EDC.
I just acquired this pristine Browning Hi-Power made about 2015 (a short time before FN/Browning announced the end of the run of these beautiful guns). I have mentioned before that I was actually issued a confiscated BHP in 1974 when I was assigned to an undercover detective team. If I remember correctly, we simply carried them stuck in our belt with no holster. Fast forward to this BHP, and there is no way I would want to mark up this gun carrying it like that,
Thanks to Girsan, they have recently brought to us an almost perfect sample of what an edc BHP should be in the form of their compact “PI” model. I have had this for several months and it just keeps getting better and better, really smoothing out.
This photo shows my favorite carry magazine with the “mouse trap” eject system. This original Browning 13 round magazine is also coated which really smoothes out the trigger pull (I am leaving in the mag disconnect system). The back up mag is the 15 round MecGar mag that came with the gun.
The Girsan grips that came with the gun were replaced with wood Hogue grips as shown above. The really nice stock Girsan grips now reside on my FEG recently purchased. They feel great and are a big help in dealing with the non-stock safety lever a prior owner installed.
The compact Girsan High Power™ MC P35 PI, to me, is the solution for actually using a dependable Hi-Power for every day carry.
Any thoughts or comments will be appreciated.
