Browning 'Hi-power' handgun
Conceived in the thirties, it was one of the most widespread handguns in history and so much so to end up in the hands of both sides during the Second World War.
A nine millimetre pistol, the first design ever to host an amazing thirteen rounds in its magazine (hence its name) without any reliability problems, some forty years before it became the worldwide standard for semi-automatic handguns.
It only started to phase out in the nineties but it’s still currently used in many countries worldwide.
Even if it was never issued by any US personnel, many SOG soldiers carried it instead of their 1911s because of its loading powerwhich was better suited for the extreme SOG combat situations.
