I'm not all that old but when i was in high school in the mid 80's all I wanted was a browning HP . There were quite a few smiths that would gussy them up and lots of aftermarket parts and articles about them in the shooting magazines . Now you don't even hear a whisper about them . Still to this day I like the way they feel in my hand about the only high capacity pistol that does yeah I got small hands .
Figured after all these years someone would come out with a new improved / updated version of it god knows how many new versions of the 1911 types there are .
