I keep reading this thread with every new post and am really enjoying it. However, it also keeps reminding me of one little issue with one of mine.
My FM Detective is probably my favorite Hi-Power and the one I'm most likely to carry. However, there is one small problem with it, the grips. It came from the factory with rubber wrap around grips. I hated them! :mad: This is pretty much just a plain Jane pistol with a flat black finish and doesn't need anything fancy or expensive. In fact something like that would look plumb out of place on this gun.
I did find some factory like aftermarket grips on E-bay a couple of years ago and bought those. But they never have fit quite right and often shift a bit when shooting. :(
Anyway, this thread has prompted me to place an ad in the WTB section. If you think you can help me out, please take a look.
Thanks.
 
One of my greatest regrets is letting my Hi Power go. As young men, we often must let something go to finance our newest urge. I hope to think we learn as we get older. But there is reality too. At the time, I simply was not in the financial position I am in now.

You guys will probably scalp me, but I traded in the Hi Power AND the 28-2 to pay for the shotgun I would have just died without.

Yeah, I know.
 
I currently have 2 HP's. I have a 1943 made during German occupation which was in very bad shape when I got it and I did my best to save it. The other is a Tisas BR9 clone which I have customized to be my EDC.

My High Power is my "troubled waters" gun. On the rare times when circumstances dictate something more than my Colt Cobra .38 may be a good idea, this one gets the nod.

Its got a Cylinder & Slide hammer and safety, and no mag disconnect. It has the only worthwhile product to come out of the Uncle Mike's factory - their Spegel-ish slim grips. With a flush-fit Mec Gar 15 rounder full of +P+ BPLE it should get me out any trouble this old feller can find himself in.

It has never jammed. Not even once. It did rip off four rounds full auto once but I consider that just trying harder. I love it.

Get in touch with Cylinder and Slide - They did an excellent job on the trigger of my FEG (Hungarian) clone. Call or e-mail them first to get on their waiting list - it may take some time before they have an opening and you can get the gun to them.

I want to say Night Hawk was making some really cool Hi Powers. Now I cant find ANY Hi Powers on the new pistol market anymore. Really sux because I love the Hi Power.
