Also have a small batch of Browning Hi Powers, a pair of each in both 9mm and .40 S&W calibers. I recommend the Mark III version in either matte finish or the Practical Model, if you can find them. While the blued ones are very pretty, that finish just doesn't hold up to carry in warm/wet weather. The BHP's are single action, but the triggers aren't quite as crisp as the 1911.

When traveling to places that the predators come bigger/deadlier than people, I opt for the Glock model 20 in 10mm. Pretty good combination of weight and power.

I'm a sucker for Hi-Powers, although I've owned 2 .40's and they were both dogs... luck of the draw, I guess. I have a Mk III and an older Belgian Hi-Power that is a thing of beauty.

Couldn't agree more about the Glock 20! My very favorite Glock, I got one shortly after they were introduced. I put in a Bar-Sto barrel and a set of adjustable Meprolights, and it is pretty great. Accuracy, reliability, light weight, and nearly magnum- level performance. An impressive list of attributes.

Cheers,
G

A fellow inmate brought his Glock 20 to the range at a pre-herf shoot around and I really enjoyed shooting it. That 10mm round is potent but manageable in that pistol.

The glock 20 is sweet. I have the S&W 1066 and it's a jewel. The 10mm is a stout round.
