I’ve only got one at present.

Yep. I believe it was. I can see the second hole on the slide for the pin of the new and more balanced sear lever. I can also see the magazine safety is gone.

Long time Hi Power fan here. Since my first, a new T-series along about '66 or '67, I've had several. Carried a Hi Power quite a bit back in the day. Still have a Hi Power plinker or two, just used recreationally. One is a GP Comp model.

There is something immensely sad in this post. Not the "keeping Glocks" part, since I would probably grab my G19 if things went south, but the "something happened to me in Afghanistan" part. I can only imagine the angst behind those words.

Here's mine from '72 with Millet sights rather than the stock issue. Grips from Hogue.

Recently I’ve been thinking that I should get a Hi Power, this thread has certainly encouraged that idea. I should never have sold my FEG, but at least I kept all the spare mags.

I only have one but it’s a good one. A 1969 “T” originally bought in 1970.

Most here that follow have seen it before but here it is again. It was bought new, never shot and put away. The original price was under $100.00 and to get it I had to pay under $600.00 more not all that long ago.

I actually found/bought it on my birthday so that was way cool. It was a milestone age that I thought I’d be too old to be. (55.)

What is an SFS? You mention dimensional differences in the FEG. I have a FEG myself, and was wondering if it would be possible to install the FN style slide stop with the forward extension and "tab" that covers the notch in the slide.

SFS Kit for Browning Hi Power

I can't help with your other questions.

Im a big Browning Hi Power fan and had one of the new ones before they stopped production. Its was a Royal blued one with wood grips. I rather slim production run gun because most of them I saw at the time were the dull cerakoted looking ones which are pretty nice too. I sold it and I shouldnt have because that gun is worth twice what I paid for it now. However I dont miss the gun at all. It had one of the most atrocious hammers I have ever felt on a gun ever! The spring most have been a freeken 1000 pounds! Had to use 2 thumbs to pull the thing back! It also had the most sloppy slide to frame fit I ever had EVER on a semi auto pistol WORSE than the most worn out GI 1911 I ever seen in my life! The thing rattled more than a mexican maraca on cinco da maya.
I wish Tisas would import more of there Hi Power clones because those were nice! Also the FEG made Hi Powers are nice and I prefer the round "commander" style hammers on those pistols more than the hammer hand bitter 9000 Browning model.

this is my only one now.......

For those carrying concealed in an IWB manner, an advantage of the High Power is that the slide is ridiculously slim. And, even the stock grips don't show that much under a shirt.

Dr. Mordo covered "what is an SFS". The problem with the FEG was the fact that it didn't quite line up with what the SFS wanted for sear engagement. As to the slide stop, it should be a drop in, BUT I am assuming that this is the BHP clone FEG, and not the look alike with guts more similar to a S&W. My FEG is a true clone of the BHP, and I have not had difficulty using FN parts with the exception of the 3rd party SFS.

Look at the circled in red area of the photo of an FEG below. You can see the "oval" that shows that this is a true BHP clone (you may need to blow it up to see it properly).

These lightweight Euro-Copper trade-ins were on BrokeGunner several months back. Just a recoil buffer, and SFS kit from BHPSS, and the addition of dovetailed MkIII standard bar sights.

Oh yeah, my FEG is a true BHP clone - not the M59 derivative.
Interesting that other FN parts fit but the SFS doesn't.

I'm looking for a replacement slide stop for mine. Nothing wrong with the fit or function of the original, it just doesn't have the forward extension and tab to cover the frame notch - which makes it look less like a BHP, since that is one of their other distinctive physical features.

Here is a picture of my Browning Swenson HP.
When I was a young man of 19 or 20, a friend of my fathers took me out shooting. He told me to try my hand with some 9mm pistols he had. He opened a gun case with a S&W 39, S&W 59, Beretta 92, Walther P38, Colt 1911a1 and a Browning High Power. I kept going back to the HP, loved the grip and the way it fit my hand. This was all one handed bullseye shooting. Anyway, long story short, I've been in love with the Browning ever since.

I have one, a T Series. And a clone to keep it from getting lonely. I play Barry White music in the safe, hoping for an interesting offspring.

Lot’s of beautiful HPs here. I’ve had my share and currently have a pair of FNs from Israel that show practical use, but function well and are accurate.

My favorite automatic by far. I shoot the hell out of both of mine when times are normal.

Planning on picking up and extra slide in the near future for an RMR project.

Just a plain Jane 1970s Belgian with smooth stocks, but the holster makes it fancy.

Over the years I've probably had a couple of dozen Brownings. Great pistol. Here's a few favorites.

I thought I would do a family portrait of my Browning High Power, its little brother and the Baby. They came as a set in the box, and have their own manuals and Browning pouches. The .380 was made and imported before the GCA of 1968. The Baby Browning was probably fired, but that doesn't matter much to me. I got the set at Mayfield Guns outside of Cleveland. The owner is of a similar vintage to me, and he knows that I like the nice things he has put away back in the past.

I have 3 other High Powers to use as shooters.

The Duke liked a BHP in MCQ.

Only have one,
FN Herstal marked bright blue cased gun with wood stocks in .40 SW with factory installed SFS.
Not a huge fan of the BHP but that SFS is an extremely cool design.

Also used by Axel Foley.

Interesting "ambidextrous" grip.

I just have one. A 'GP" competition model.

Always wanted to shoot one of those.
