The Browniing HiPower isn't a handgun that finds itself in a lot of Hollywood movies or TV series. Looking over HBO for something to watch on television late nights I decided to watch the True Detective series again. In the second season of True Detective Colin Farrell as Detective Ray Velcoro uses a HiPower in his job as a California LEO. A weird choice by whoever decides that sort of thing but pretty neat to see the old warhorse on the screen. I was reminded how sleek and good looking the HiPower is and how I regret getting rid of the one I had years back.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
