Sinister Controls


The slide stop on the Browning Hi-Power has that spoon shaped part in front of the pivot point.

I'd often wondered why.

Playing around with left handed drills I discovered it's handy for locking the slide to the rear by pushing down on the front part with your index finger.  I now wonder if that's why it's the way it is.

  1. I always figured it was a cosmetic way of covering the slide stop notch.
