Usually this is fine in a modern pistol but I'd think the vintage Hi Powers would suffer over time.

Hi Dave..
I had one of the Chinese Contract High Power Brownings made by Inglis and fired the Cdn.Military ammunition that was designed for the Stirling Sten gun..
the 9MM parabellum round was pretty hot..No problem with the Browning..I hand loaded also and cranked up some pretty hot stuff and not a problem either..
The High Power had a strong action and I never had a problem with it..
My High Power was right out of the old Military surplus stocks ,never issued and still had the cosmoline on it..
It was a beauty and still as good today and it always was..
