My first gun, and the one I liked the most: Browning High Power. Just fit my hand beautifully! Now using Glock 19, does the job, but no way does it fit my hand as well.

interesting comment...if that were to be the case, why would the good folks at Rock Island Arsenal order 5,000 Ruger KP95D, like American Handgunner just reported....?

The reason I can translate Guy is because I helped put him through the 18D course and spoke to him on many occasions.
The 9mm is a .45 set to stun.

you know, if you stop and do the math, 5000 units, even at retail, ain't much of a contract...

Used to be an H&K P7M13, in 9mm, for years...
But now it's an Ed Brown Classic Custom 1911 Gov't model in 45 ACP.
The P7 is a keeper, but I am enamored of the 1911.
