A Browning Hi-Power pistol featuring some kyrinite grip panels from Eagle Grips. Surprisingly good looking, combining a shiny dark blue finish with shiny dark grips.
Speaking of the Hi-Power, Springfield Armory just came out with a clone of it, the SA-35. Looks vaguely ok, but has kind of a cheap matte finish which looks kind of dull with the wood grips. Hear they have had some hiccups with those things.
Just recently, FN Herstal came out with a 'modernized' version of the Hi-Power as well. Has a 17rd magazine, which is nice, and that's about all the nice things I can say about it. Don't care much for the modern wide slide serrations, the lack of a rail, and I'm curious as to why it has no parts compatibility with the normal Hi-Power pistols. It's also about twice as expensive as Springfield Armory's take on it.
I'm only kind of modestly impressed at these reintroductions, but I guess that it's also very nice to see a modern all steel single-action pistol with a big magazine.
