The other FN "Hi Powers" - FN SFS and FN HP-DA

I think the Buckmark is made in Canada. Browning never made a gun in America that I'm aware of.

I'm not a CF auto pistol shooter, I went through that phase 40yrs
ago. Brn HP was always my favorite before they started assem.
in Portugal. I have one HP its FN and is a model with extended
barrel and adjustable sights. Ugly black finish and Pacmeyr grips.
Back sight looks like it is off a BB gun. Having said that it's the
most accurate 9mm I've ever shot, that's why I still got it. I will
add that I've never shot a SIG 210 which is suppose to be the
best.

Have you ever shot a Luger? The Sig 210 is supposed to be equivalent in accuracy. And I think it is having one too.

I have two Hi-Power type guns, one a Browning and one an Israeli Kareen. The Browning was touted as a "Belgian model" but it is clearly marked that it was assembled in Portugal. I didn't pay an overwhelming price for it, no trick rip off price, etc., just a reasonable market price for a BHP. Under $600 two years ago, I think. Definitely under $700.

Then a few months ago some imported Kareens came on the market and I figured a BHP for under $300 was a good plan. After clean up it had an amazingly pristine bore. Great shooter; feels exactly like a normal BHP but was probably made by FEG or, maybe, some pats are FEG and others Israeli.

Hmmm....I wrote this post for a reason. Now I cannot recall my point! Gettin' old ain't fer sissies...!!

Seriously, I had a point and it derailed. Oh, well.....

Just forget the "Assembled in Portugal" thing. If they said assembled in EU you problably wouldn't bat an eye.

And from the 80s on those that say FN Herstal instead of Browning. Were also assembled in Portugal, just don't have it written on the slide.

Maybe a few were really assembled in Belgium, but that would be a "PR thing" IMHO.

Hi Mario, I have no doubt that Parabellum was made for you, good aim friend.

Hi Leonardo, you will be surprized then, but I personally know two persons here that shoot it better than me. And at least another three that I consider on par, I have beatten them. And they have beatten me.
