AIM has $439 Browning/FN Hi Powers
FN Belgium Hi Power 9mm Pistol Standard Mk 2
They will have finish wear but should be excellent shooters. Look like MKII guns. There has been some Hi Power talk recently here so I thought I would pass this along.

If I didn't have one already, I'd get one at this price.

MkIIIs have cast frames, which are actually tougher than the earlier forged frames. MkIIIs also have a dovetailed front sight. I think the firing pin block was added during MkII production and was in all MkIIIs, but I might be wrong on that.

I bought one of the Israeli-marked Mk.IIIs last fall. No complaints. The finish isn't good, but I can live with that.

Yes Aim is good to go. In fact if you don't want to use your credit card, you can put it in your basket and send them an email with the order number and they will hold it for your paper payment. I've always had a positive experience with them.

IIRC they carried them in very generic canvas holsters similar to these. The IDF does not really have standard issue stuff. Lots of surplus and lots of variation depending on location and commander as I understand it.
They also use chest holsters similar to these which the British and Canadians use.

The Radom P64 at $249.95 is another one worth considering. Generally excellent compact 9X18 pistols.
