Here is my mid 1970 C Series shooter Hi-Power.


And there is always the Canadian contribution by Inglis.
Lots of intrigue and shadow operations gave us this contribution to WWII.
Not just WW II. The Inglis HP actually didn't get into action in any appreciable numbers until the last year of the war. Most weren't delivered until sometime in 1945.
But the Canadian Forces which adopted the Inglis as their standard sidearm in late 1944 are just now looking to replace it. I've been keeping a casual eye on the debate; the last time there was a flurry of articles was about a year ago, and so far I have read nothing about a decision on the replacement.

I know how to work a round file.
Mine is a T series with modern sights and safety.
Hammer relief work by me.
Isn't there a "famous" picture of the younger Prince Harry with a HP tucked into his flight vest???????
Yes there is. And here you go.

But it's not an "inglis"![]()
Tangent....... what are the patches..........????????????
Bam-Bam asked:
IIRC Wasn't there a South American made HP clone....... alloy frame? and a short slide "Detective" model ????????
Here's a Pic of my Inglis BHP Mk1*. It has triple-matching serial numbers dating manufacture to 1944, and according to the markings was gone through by the armory back in '62.
Inglis with a shoulder stock is on my bucket list, but for now my only two Hi Powers.1st pic: W. German Police, Austrian Police, Argentine Police and one of a very small run from the 80's in 7.65mm Luger.
2nd pic: 4th Chinese Contract Inglis HP with attached holster-stock.
3rd pic: Inglis holstered
4th pic: Post-war board holster-stock, still looking for a HP to go along with this one.
