    Wow. Just wow.
    Lessons: SUV with no front wheels can still be a threat. And something about bringing a pistol to an SUV fight.
    Stay safe, guys.

    Those two after-milling slides sure have a patch of shiny bare steel. Is that stainless steel? If not, wouldn't you be worried about rust under the optic?

    Oh yes, somewhat on the order of firing .455 PROOF LOADS with every shot, if using factory loaded .45 Auto Rim rounds. If you can ever find those. But if you roll your own, then you can load to not...

    Oh yeah, it doesn't have any old Beretta style mag release button on the grip. So I guess I shouldn't say they went overboard with releases :p

    As mentioned above, the mag release is almost everything ever invented, although it is missing a P-38 style grip mag release. Hers are the words from the Walther link:

    If that is indeed a downward sliding mag release, that I think it would be something of a new idea. Well, HK has levers at the very corner of the trigger guard, but this HiperMystery pistol seems to...

    Can't tell from pics - did he re-stamp the serial number onto the frame someplace else, so he could stipple the entire front strap?

    That is first rate work and the gun looks great. But I want to...

    Your slide doesn't have the Springer logo or the big SA-35 markings on it. Did they drop those from later production guns or move them to the left side?

  11. The tradition continues

    From the good old days:

    .38 WCF is really a .40

    .38 Special is really a .36 (rounding a bit)

    .44 Magnum is really a .43 (again, rounding)

    So .30 Super is really a .31?

    I have had several FN built HiPowers but quickly sold the .40 S&W one, as that heavier slide just ruined the balance. The 9mm versions are the most balanced and graceful of pistols.

    I do regret selling mine, which I bought as the first owner. But way back then, it was my first N-frame and I didn't like the balance. Pardon me while I kick myself.
