Nice Hi-Power......

[Xfuzz]

Stumbled across this today at the Houston Show.
1969 "T" series with the pouch and 2 mags..
P35's just seem to fit my hand to a T.

 

[Two Guns]

Nice find. How was the price?

 

[Joe Kent]

Great find, My absolute favorite 9MM.

 

[Xfuzz]

$675....OTD.

Every serious pistolero needs a good Hi-Power. I have a WWII Waffenamt marked version.

Had a modern one in .40 S&W , but the weight/mass they added to the slide ruined the perfect balance and pointability of the original.

 

[sipowicz]

Good price for a T...

 

[Frank237]

Very nice! Good price too. I'm envious.

Snagged a NOVAK modified BHP several years back...my FAVORITE carry gun.

They flat fit your hand so well!

FN in MT

Nice one, Xfuzz! Very clean, and I like the hammer.

I found one recently that is joy to shoot. It has a shortened hammer that barely misses pinching me. It has a number of mods on it - including Novak sights, Spegel grips, polished feed ramp, and an extended safety. I don't know if this was a custom package offered by Novak or someone's personal dream - but I sure like it.

Nice find, a classic. Now if I could only teach mine not to bite!

 

[sipowicz]

I have the round hammer on my 81 HP....haven't been bit yet....

Love them older HP's. Nice find!

I have it's twin. Still shoots great although the bore is a little dark. May I assume that the Waffenamt code is WaA140?

Very nice.

No semi-auto sits in the hand as nicely, IMO.

Yep! Shoots great and 100% reliable. It loved Nyclads. I even used to wear it behind the counter some days when I had my shop.

Nice Hi-Power XFuzz! Looks very clean. The streaked pattern in the grip is a nice unique touch. The T series Hi-Powers seem to be considered the best ones by many Hi-Power aficionados. You did well to acquire that one for a good price. Hope a shooting report is forthcoming.

The Hi-Power is my favorite 9mm of all. Mine is an FN that was turned out just after World War II.

I have two, this Practical is my favorite. I've often considered changing the overly large rear sight, but it works so well:

Nice looking HP Sip, what are the grips?

 

[sipowicz]

They are cocobolo I got for 30 bucks off MacTec : Classic & Collectible Arms Sales they also sell the same grips at CDNN...I have since sold these off and switched back to the original wood...I like the old school look of the red backs...and I have two pair in case I crack one...

 

[max]

That is what I thought. I got a set from CDNN last week. They are great to look at, but make the grip way too fat in my opinion. I am going to get a set of the originals and have a friend modify them to fit my MKII with the ambi safety.

 

[amd6547]

I got this '73Charlie in a private sale at a gun show two years ago for $275...showed a lot of finish wear, and I had to refinish the grips...I dont mind the finish wear, as I carry this Browning...It shoots great.

that's odd...I didn't feel mine were any thicker..I actually thought they were a bit slimmer...but the checkering was a bit too aggressive for me...

 

[max]

I had the plastic factory ones on the MK II. I also have an older HP with the wood grips and they are much thinner.

Xfuzz,
swell gun, I bought a 69 T Model in late 1970 from a Hardware
Store in Fatalburg, NC that was going out of business, when I was in the Zambieze Rifles in the 82nd All African Division at Bragg. Paid $105.00 for it new, with the gun rug and one extra mag. Your price is outstanding as I see them go for $800.00 or more in the Gun Shops in Texas.

[Pilgrim]

I have one 'T' from 1965. It shoots as good as it looks !

 

[PALADIN85020]

Hard to resist a good High Power! Nice gun!

Here are two I own currently - a custom FEG (Hungarian clone) and a WWII Inglis, used by the British.

 

[mkk41]

WWII Inglis, used by the British.

And Canadians , and Chinese.

 

[LOBO]

This one has been to Novaks for sights, trigger job, and a "no bite" hammer. I also put some VZ grips thin grips on the gun & they make it feel like home everytime I pick it up.

 

[kscardsfan]

This is just creepy. I was actually looking at high powers today and thinking to myself, I need to get one of these soon and round out my classic 9mm section of the safe. Being that I can't leave well enough alone, are there any HPs that are considered sacred cows/it's a sacrilege to modify and tune one up? I don't want to be accused of doing something wrong after I buy it and Novak or C&S it to my specs. Thanks again guys!
