Sorry, but I've been reading the Browning Hi-Power wiki to brush up on them a little (I know the risks) and came across this interesting tidbit.

Quote:
The HP-SFS (Safe-Fast-Shooting) is a current variation on the Hi-Power Mark III with a modified firing mechanism. After the weapon is loaded, the hammer is pushed forward, which automatically activates the safety catch. When the shooter is prepared to fire, the safety is pressed down with the thumb, releasing the hammer to spring backwards into the usual, single-action position. A similar system is available for modifying Colt M1911A1s. Magazines are interchangeable with the Mark III and others.
That actually sounds really cool, why am I only learning about this now?
