The Browning Hi-Power is a single-action, semi-automatic handgun available in 9 mm and .40 Smith & Wesson calibers. It is based on a design by the famous American firearms designer John Browning who died in 1926, several years before the design was finalized. It was completed by Dieudonné Saive at Fabrique Nationale (FN) of Herstal, Belgium in 1935 and is still in production.
It is one of the most widely used military pistols in history, having been used by the military forces of over 50 countries. The Hi Power name is somewhat misleading and may refer to its 13-round magazine capacity; almost double that of the Luger or Mauser 1910.
The Hi Power's pistol grip might also be the most ergonomic of any handgun. It is slim, trim and just about the perfect weight for carrying, the gun is almost perfectly balanced. This, together with the grip, makes the Hi Power one of the easiest-shooting, easiest-to-control 9 mm pistols in the world.

Was John Browning's "improvement on 1911 .45 cal."....theoretically. I always felt it was more that Europe was simply locked into 9mm, which it is to this day.
LOVE this pistol....but if you ever get one, remove the magazine safety. It's a pain in the a**.

Very cool; but I think the high power is double/single action?

Single action semi automatic. Single action means the hammer must be cocked, as opposed to say a Beretta where the hammer can be down and pulling the trigger will pull the hammer back and release it forward.
After the first round is fired, the semi automatic aspect will blowback the slide cocking the weapon every time and making it ready for hammer release at the next trigger pull.

cool; haven't handled a high power and did not know that. I have a Jericho 941 and assumed the high power was similar

Handling is similar @ramseyman, just the functioning is a little...."older." Because it was loosely based on the 1911 .45 design, it didn't incorporate the double action capability that other 9mm handguns had been using.
Both the .45 and the BHP when being carried for immediate use are carried in the configuration commonly known as "cocked and locked." Which is hammer back, safety on (which blocks the hammer from dropping), in the holster....and the term is technically backwards since you lock and in the process it cocks the weapon. But I've always heard it as cocked and locked.
Sounds a lot scarier than it is, but a lot of people prefer a DA because carrying with the hammer back feels scarier. Course if they have a Glock, then technically the hammer is back on that as well....if it had a hammer. But it's the same configuration for carry.

Don't fear the gun, don't even fear the nut with the gun. Feel secure knowing that you own and can operate a firearm so that you don't have to fear. But really even without a gun you shouldn't fear, for we are living during the most peaceful period which life on Earth has ever experienced.
