Here's one of my favorite 9MM.
Smith & Wesson Model 39 was introduced in 1956 and was available for civilian sale. The S&W Model 39 was the first 9MM pistol manufactured by a US company. The Colt Commander was on the market before the 39, but wasn’t chambered in 9mm at that time. I remember the days when the caliber was considered "strange" and "foreign" and articles in gun magazines were treating the 9mm cartridge like it was exotic.

Why do they call it a high power? It's only a 9mm right? |

LT Colonel Brad, The Pistol is a 9mm. The gun's model name is 'Browing Hi-Power' Remember that when it was introduced in 1922, the Browing pistol was a revelation. It offered the better balance, better control of handling, larger physical size and firepower, with an impressive 13-round magazine +1 capacity. The only comparable pistol was the German Luger. The Browing had twice the capacity of the Luger. Thus 'Hi-Power' Over the years, the pistol aged gracefully and continues to have a loyal following. The craftsmanship and function of this pistol of the machined steel frame, slide, and their natural point ability. The double-column magazine, the grip is narrow to accommodate almost every paw size. The single-action trigger is smooth with consistent pull for a service grade pistol. The gun functions reliably, it's accurate enough and easy to shoot.
