I honestly had no idea they were still produced.
For some reason, I thought they stopped making them in the 70s.

That's what I thought. I can't remember anyone asking if they should buy one.

It seems like Browning never tried really hard to market them in the US.

You do know that all the Browning Hi Powers were made by FN, and FN has production facilities here, and in Belgium for semi auto handguns, and rifles, right? FN owns Browning, and what is now known as Winchester.

No I didn't know that.
