Thanks so much for the advice!
Yeah, I think the Colt must stay because it's been in the family for 3 or 4 generations. I looked up the serial number and it was produced in 1926.
The Smith and Wesson is really good looking, and a nice piece of history. And a potential EDC.
The BHP is what my heart wants though.
Maybe I can pay my gran off over a few months and keep them all.
S&W section 13
Colt section 15
Browning section 15
FYI, I'm not currently a gun owner, and these will likely be the only firearms I ever own. My wife isn't keen on guns, and only OK with these because of the sentimental attachment.

Why not do the BHP under Sec13 as that is probably the best to actually use for SD, I've come to find that parts and springs for the Hi-Power can be found as long as you search a bit.

I thought I'd apply for the S&W for SD as I feel more comfortable carrying a gun in condition 1 with the DA/SA and firing pin block. The first gen BHP doesn't have a firing pin block. The S&W is also considerably lighter and slimmer. I realise 8 vs 13 rounds is a big difference, but the pros outway the cons in my head.
