This video features Caleb showcasing his Inglis Browning Hi-Power Mark I pistol from his personal gun vault. He details the history and design of the Hi-Power, including its high-capacity magazine and its wartime production by both Allied and Axis forces. Caleb explains that while his specific example lacks some desirable collector features and isn't a Chinese contract model, it was manufactured during the same period. He recounts rescuing the gun from a rusty and poorly painted condition, then detailing its restoration through cleaning, re-bluing, new grips, and an action job. He considers it a working showpiece, ranking it second only to his SIG P226 for concealed carry, describing it as a 'Saturday night' or 'church and barbecue' gun, typically carried in a leather rig. Caleb invites viewer comments on their own 'cool factor' carry guns.
