I own a mkii and a mkiii browning hi power.
The mkii has the older sights, just like the older
1911’s had, and yes, in other than bright sunshine,
they are hard to see. The mkiii has a three dot,
one forward, two rear, setup. Much easier, much
quicker in any sort of light.

Yes, they are 9mm, and not .45acp. Stilll, I would
not stand, to catch either one.

I do concur that the newer 1911s, would work
very well.

Years ago, buddy Charley T was closing his bar/restaurant for the evening when he noticed a young man pulling a ski mask over his face. Concluding he was about to be robbed, Charley picked up his Browning Hi Power and slipped out the back door to confront the holdup man.

As their eyes met, the ski mask guy turned to point a small pistol at Charley, who left go with three rounds, which all missed.

The ski mask guy dropped his pistol and ran toward a idling Chevy. Charley let loose with four more rounds which neatly drilled the trunk and rear window but missed the perp.

As this was happening, an Urbandale police cruiser happened by; the cop had heard the shots. The officer found Mr. ski mask, soiled and whimpering on the front floor of the car. Handcuffs were applied.

The next afternoon, the Urbandale police chief dropped by and invited Charley to the police shooting range for a little target practice with the Hi Power...
