·One of the best of the 20th century 9mm handguns and a special favorite. The one here is an immediate post-war Austrian Forestry Service contract pistol. May have been unissued when I obtained it, but it's sure been shot since. Still looks the same because it's all been range use except for one time when Mrs. BMc used it to qualify for the Texas concealed carry permit process.
As an alternative to rubber grips I like the Tyler T-Grip grip adapter. I have fairly large hands with long fingers, but it offers a benefit without the tackiness of rubber or the odor.

Very nice Hi Power and 649 I also have a 649 rubber grips help tame recoil with magnum calibers I use a rubber grip on revolvers that are used for home protection. I do not like rubber grips on carry guns. Rubber grips always stick on my clothing while carrying. They always get caught up on my shirt. jacket etc. I prefer wood grips
Not too long ago I cleaned up the Hi Power I posted. I even worker over the finish with mothers mags polish. I used a very small amount of the mothers polish on an old T shirt I rubbed very lightly and the hp really shines using that method works great very small dab of polish on the t shirt and wipe just enough to get the oxidation off the bluing you should wind up with a medium brown color on the cotton material. If you rub too much you will see black color on the t shirt that is the bluing. I have used the method on many blued fire arms with very good result
