Single Action, [bleep] Trigger (SAST).

The Browning Low Power is enjoying a bit of a resurgence now that the FBI has declared the 9mm adequate again.

My exact same thoughts. Coulda, Shoulda, Didn't. As I get older, I try not to think or ponder as long on some things and just go ahead and buy. Available funds limited things also when I was younger.

I bought two in .40 S&W when my LGS made me a good deal on the pair. I gave one to my older stepson for Christmas one year, and I carried the other one off and on for a few years down on the ranch. I used it almost exclusively for dispatching wounded deer and pronghorns on the road. After I left the ranch, it languished in my gun safe for a few years and I finally gritted my teeth and sold it here on the campfire. Every time this topic comes up, I regret it.

However, I know that it's current owner is taking good care of it--that helps a little. wink

Yeah, they're craptastic. No one should want one. If you have a Silver-Chrome burdening you, I'd dispose of it for you.


Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.

Everybody should have one. Thinking they probably won't get cheaper...:)

I like them...a lot. This one is an Israeli surplus T-series from '67. A new parkerizing job, removing the mag safety and opening up the rear sight notch made it into a great shooter. My only pistol for awhile when I went back on active duty at FT Bragg. I added a spare stainless Remsport barrel to keep the original in nice shape.

Were the BHP Re-introduced with a beavertail...it'd take off like Wild Fire. My mitts are eternally scarred with ALL manner of BHP hammers.

LOVE the ergo's.................

In the OP's defense, the pivoted trigger does look like a double action trigger.
