dodger you are going for a nice gun. The Browning Hi Power has been around for a long time and has been proven.I personally like the 40 S&W. My opinion it' s a much better round then the 9mm.I carry a Glock M-27 which is a 40 S&W and really like it.Granted it doesn' t have the knock down power that a 45 ACP does but it' s more then sufficient for a personal protection gun.On both counts you are making a good choice.
