Swapped A Hi-Power

[Rusty 1]

My nickel Model 57 I got in trade for a Hi-Power.

Nice revolver. I like both firearms very much, but prefer the .41 magnum over the 9mm by a wide margin.

You came out ahead in my book! That's a fine looking gun!

 

[Hans Gruber]

That is one beautiful revolver! I think you did well!

Very nice. You can always find another good hipower.

Back in 1974 I was a brand new patrolman. I bought a commercial Hi Power as my duty weapon. After a couple trips to the range I was not a happy camper. It shot minute of 5 gallon bucket at 25 yards. It would not feed anything that did not have a profile like ball ammo either.
The first gun show I traded it even for a new 4 Inch Model 28 Highway Patrolman. I considered this to be a very good trade. The 28 was, and still is a tack driver. I traded the 28 to an old friend around 1975 or 76 who still has it.

I think it was a good trade that is even in my book. I say that because traded a nickel 27-2 6 inch in near mint condition for a mint Browning HP and both of us walked away happy which is the Art of a good deal. Of course at the time I had two Model 27-2 revolvers with 6 inch barrel.

This is the Hi-Power I traded. "T" Serial number, external extractor, ring hammer, black Browning zipper bag, minor freckling on slide near muzzle....

Both guys got a great gun.

I had the exact twin of that gun.The Spegels make a very nice difference in feel,and looks.

Did you get gun oil on your wife's fur coat??? As much as I like the looks and reputation of a hi-power, they just don't feel good in my hand. I would have made that trade myself. Your new Smith is a looker! Enjoy it! Bob

you did good there fun to shoot

 

[Rusty 1]

Gun oil on my wife's mink would result in a punishment beyond belief The model 57 was/is dry.
Nice background for a pistol picture though---you think??

 

[Stirling]

That was some trade. I really liked the Hi Power I bought for my wife. Both great guns, both parties happy, great trade.

To me, there's no gun that's more comfortable to shoot than a Hi Power. Just goes to show how people are different, I guess.
