Browning

The Browning Hi-Power, also known as the Pistole 640(b) during its service with the German forces, was widely used as a sidearm by officers in many countries. During World War II (1939 – 1945), approximately 319,000 of these pistols were issued to Wehrmacht and SS forces of Nazi Germany. Post-war variations of the pistol, referred to as ‘High Power’ or ‘Hi-Power,’ continued to be produced for public sale and military use worldwide.
