I want. California says I cannot have. Gorgeous piece.
How about a fourth reason to own one. They are one of the best, and most elegant, defensive pistols ever seen. No handgun battery is complete without one.
Sigh. I know it’s impractical, and it’s a fingerprint magnet, and any holster wear will break your heart. I want one anyway. It’s a beautiful expression of craftsmanship, because it has to be done by hand. No robot can do this for you. (Yet.) Actually, $799 is surprisingly low.
Jim, that is a very low price. I bought my first Hi-Power when I was a young man. I still own one. So does my son. He’s still a young man. As a bonus, I don’t believe it’s made in Turdkey.
