Hi-Power Comeback

I wasn't always a gun guy. My father occasionally hunted small game and I carried on that tradition, and then expanded to deer.  I think it was 1990 when the Feds put a 10 round limit on magazine capacity. At the time I had a .22 rifle, .410, 20ga pump and a .357mag.  I had no real need or desire for anything else, as a hunter. The Fed passing that law started my journey being a gun guy. I went to a gun show and handled multiple handguns that took magazines that held more than 10 rounds. I bought a FEG Hi-Power because it held 13, and seemed to fit my hand best. I also bought several spare magazines. So screw you government!

To this day, the Hi-Power is my favorite. I've recently read that FN, Springfield and EAA are reintroducing my favorite all time handgun. I've been checking the local shops, but haven't found any. I really want to handle one before I commit to buying.

Over the years the number of guns I own have grown. Sometimes just because the Fed doesn't want me to have them. 

If you lock 2 guns in a dark closet, they are bound to procreate. 

Front Sights

Have become an issue for these old eyes. To help, I recently had XS sights installed on 2 of my carry guns. I like them. I've heard that they're not very good for longer ranges. I disagree.

Taking the general idea farther I decided to invest in front sights for both the Keltec SUB-2000 and the AR. Both now have red dots, but if battery failure, then the irons become necessary. Besides, the irons may be pressed into use if there isn't time to activate the red dot. I purchased a couple of larger front sights, chevron, to make the irons easier for these old eyes. They are now installed, but I haven't had the opportunity to try them at the range.

My SKS has a foreward mounted red dot. I doubt a more visible front sight is available for it.

My CETME has a PA low powered variable with illuminated reticle. So I think it'll be fine.
