ART!!!!
How did I pass on this gun for so many years? It has been in my possession for less than an hour now and I'm just sitting here staring at it. The classic lines, the sleek finish, the words "Browning Arms Company" etched into the slide. Allow me to give pause while I wipe the drool from my lips. There that's better. The "pride of ownership" in this fine piece is simply amazing.
Anyway, I have been looking for a BHP for awhile. I always seemed to pass them up. The general fodder at the gun shows is over-priced and used. And although there is usually nothing wrong with used guns - for some reason I wanted my BHP to be brand spankin' new. And forget about ever finding one in our local gun-shops. They are pounced on harder than a feral cat on a chubby rat.
So when I got wind of a NIB Hi-Power MK-III at our local shop I gave them a buzz. Sure enough they had one, NIB for $539. I told them to "HOLD IT. I'll be there in 10 minutes." I don't know if $539 was a good price but I just knew I had to have it so I didn't really care. And now...
And now all I can do is stare at it. It's dark and it's raining and I don't have any ammo. But damnit I've got a BHP!!!
