I was on Seattle Guns previously, but that is no more, so here I am. I'm a casual shooter, but really enjoy it (and need to make it a priority to get to the range more often). I'm a huge fan of the Browning Hi-Power, I own more than is sane for any one person, but...¯\_(ツ)_/¯. See you all in the forums!

Well, Welcome to WaGuns! Sane? What benchmark are you using for being sane... lol So, got me intrigued as to how many is "not sane" - personal benchmark if you will. As the saying goes... we like pictures so post some up when you can. Nice to have you here.

Welcome to WaGuns! Thanks for making an intro thread. Ooooh, Hi-Powers! I love them. Every time I hold one, I marvel at how RIGHT it feels. But alas, I keep cheaping out, and I only own one of them. I have an FN, Nazi-marked, made in 1943. Unfortunately it's nickle-plated, and occasionally the trigger doesn't work quite right, but it's still cool. Tell us more about what you like about them, what your favorite(s) are, etc.

I hesitate to say, but my count is at five right now. I may have a problem :-). And thank you for the welcome!

It was the first gun I ever purchased many years ago, but had to sell when I needed money. Now, I've overcompensated a bit by accruing many of them. I've just always like how they feel in my hand and how they shoot (for me at least). They are also just so practically simple, or simply practical.A old but solid design.

Whats the saying... 2 is 1.. 1 is none. Well, 5 seems like a good start It's a classic and many variants are made from that design.
