Let's see your Hi-Power...I know your out there

[lrb1200]

Picked this one up new very shortly before Browning
announced they were dropping production.

After some lengthy waits on spring and trigger gunsmithing
it is close to perfection.

Decided it needs a cosmetic upgrade, and asked the "forum"
for grip suggestions.

A lot of great suggestions from great people.

Overwhelmingly it was Spegel...Spegel...Spegel.
I'm now on his waiting list. It's going to be a long wait.

But, member Bro.Dave steered me to BH Spring Solutions...Nice.

So interum while I wait for Spegel, it wears a beautiful set of
"in stock" grips from BH Spring Solutions.

Many thanks to Bro.Dave.

Would love to show you my 69 C series Hi Power, but it is in prison with the FBI. You see, it was stolen last May and recovered in December just before Christmas on a reservation here in Montana.

They have to send it to Quantico for ballistics testing, because it is a Federal case I don't expect to see it back for 25-30 years if ever.

I got a few.

 

[Kurusu]

Only got this one. Early post war E series.

 

[mckenney99]

A post war model, 2 - 9mm's customized by Novak's and a Novak's custom 40 S&W.

 

[CLASSIC12]

I have currently two. A 1952 with some scars which I bought really cheap

And a 1979 capitan with shoulder stock / holster which was quite expensive

A third one is patiently waiting at the LGS for the permit. It was built in 1943, under the German occupation

Thanks for reminding me to pull it out and give a coat of Renn Wax. Here is my 69C.

What I need is take mine to the range.

 

[Bro. Dave]

This highly engraved specimen is about the only HP I don't plan to shoot. I have several others, including a couple with the "thumbprint"

 

[Bill Bates]

I picked this mid 1970 C-Series Hi-Power up a few years ago. I love it!

 

[Jimmyjones]

My Mark III, I also have a Kareen and FEG DA/SA w/ decocker.

 

[jdlii]

I have a cousin to one of Lonestar57's BHPs.

They were, as I recall, originally referred to as a "Combat HP," came from the factory with "pachyderm" grips and a satin nickel finish.

 

[LEO918]

Here are my two. A C-series from 1969 and a shooter/carry gun from 1956.

 

[Bro. Dave]

jdlii - I have one of those, as well, and was told they were hard chrome rather than nickel (at least from the factory).

The two tone with hard chrome frame/black slide version was called the Practical.

 

[Moo Moo]

Here's my Mk 3 that I purchased secondhand in 2016.

I have 2 more FM's around here somewhere.

Enjoy your weekend.

Just drooling. I have mostly Smiths, but I have wanted one of these for a while. Now is not the time. I tried to trade some ammo for one, but dealer kept his new price= -high even by current standards - and had me at the old ammo price, but not me. I cannot blame him as someone may well give him his price these days. I have Stephan Camp's excellent Hi-Power book, does that count? Asking price for a Belgian made 9mm is $2,000 and up here now.

 

[gunsnrovers]

A couple of Canadian Inglis HP's, a Practical, a MkII and and FN MkIII. They're a bit addictive.

I purchased this one for my high school graduation in 1972 for $114.00 New in soft case. I changed the small sights to adjustable. Still sleeps in the soft case.....All I shot then were handloads and Lee's GREAT SUPER_VEL ammo.
