Blackie was a champion rifle and pistol shooter indeed. His name is on many of the silver pots awarded by the Saskatchewan Provincial Rifle Association.

As for Browning HPs, I was carrying an 8T---- pistol for 6mos in AFG this time last year. Although not specific to CMP trucks and all, I have noticed the Canadian Forces' Brownings in circulation are more and more the later serial numbers. The WWII John Inglis marked magazines have been replaced (about fluckin' time!) with new Belgian commercial mags. The practise ammo is US commercial hardball, not good old IVI 9mm which is all overseas. And more than once lately have I seen the locking 'shank' on the barrels break or crack.
