Assembled in Portugal Hi Power

[ImprovedModel56Fan]

MY Belgium Hi-Power was assembled where it was made..as all things should be!

Were earlier S&W revolvers assembled where they were made?

I'm sure it's a horrible gun; send it to me immediately!

Looking for information on the Browning Hi Power and found some great tips on this forum.

Aloha,

I Had one made by FN in Belgium.

The original owner had a feeding problem and had it repaired under warranty.
That soured him on the gun so I got it at a good price.

I never had an problems with it. It would cycle empty cases. Flawless operation.

Had a lot of extras for it. Never shot it much since.

I sold it to a Good Friend for his Wife, She Loves it. Fits her hand like a glove.

It's HER gun. It's got a Forever Home. Nough said.

Sorry, you made me spew coffee on the computer screen when I read the next to the last line of your response. I was thinking: "...dang! Someone traded a Hi Power for a wife...and it was his Good Friend?" But then being a gun guy, my next thought was: "Huh? I wonder if he's trying to say if the Hi Power is any good or not? Does he value the Hi Power over his wife and his friendship with his buddy, or..."

Regards,

Dave

Model520fan gave you the best quote for Browning Hi-Powers....High Powers and Handguns, by the late Steve Camp...Steve was a, Denton TX. PD officer and made a second career on every aspect of the Browning Hi-Power....Sadly Steve passed away a few years back but his mentioned book is still available trough his Widow. Who has kept his book sales currant. Great Book, Tell you every thing you should know about ANY High-Power...He made a second career on knowledge of the High-Power, Belgium or other wise...Down to earth common sense type of stuff. He spent years on learning every thing you can learn about the long living Browning Hi-Power.

The late Stephen A. Camp was a fine gentleman who knew a great deal about many handguns. His book on Airweight J-frames is an absolute must for anyone who carries or loves Js. He inscribed and signed my copy of this book before mailing it and corresponded with me several times via email when I had questions. He passed away in the early summer of 2011. His website has a collection of informative articles on many handguns, not only HPs. His books are well worth a read by gun enthusiasts.
