This pistol was once the choice of the British SAS, they now use a SIG and was popular with CIA personnel who went into Laos and Cambodia duting the Vietnam War. With the above listed modifications I would feel well armed with the Browning Hi Power provided I had an adequate supple of Corbon Powerball ammunition.
The 'modern' Hi Power has some of those modifications. The sights are much more eye friendly and the thumb safety is large and ambidextrous. I have 3 Hi Powers. Two 9mm and one .40 S&W. I disconnected the magazine safety on one of the two 9s and it was like a brand new trigger job. The other two have good triggers with the mag safety in place.
