    I should add that my dismal results from scaling off Midway's pic of the bullet may be due, at least partially, to the fact my monitor is an ancient CRT monitor in which line voltage can affect vertical size. Other, newer types of displays may have better horizontal/vertical equality and make for better scaling.

    Niemi24s,

    I'll try measuring them again soon when it isn't so late. We'll see if I can get more accurate dimensions.

    Maine, Yes, Criminal Investigation Division. Just wondering where in the Army you carried a Browning. I know CID had some, but where else? I was AF, and general officers and wing commanders had their choice of a Combat Masterpiece or a Hi-Power. Otherwise, the OSI, Office of Special Investigations, the AF's counterpart to the CID, had some. They were pretty much superseded as a concealed carry weapon by custom shorty .45 1911s made at Lackland AFB. There were even a few S&W 39s floating around in those days.

    Hi Power Carry Gun in the Army

    I was MI, Counter Intelligence Officer, in Korea. Our issue weapons were the S&W M&P 38 Specials. I didn't have much use for them so I carried my own Browning Hi Power whenever I had ato transport classified documents across the country, usually from my Field Office in Taejon to HQ in Seoul. I generally went by "Grayhoundu", Korea Grayhound, regular GMC-built Grayhound busses.
