Browning Hi-Power

[Dharmaeye]

One of my few regrets was selling an Inglis Hi-Power. Bought it used and it looked like crap, but will a little TLC it was great - no pitting or rust....... Totally reliable.

Back in 68 the Hi-Power was a state of the art handgun with a stainless barrel.  Was the beginning of the "wonder nines" and the beginning of the revolver changing to the nines in most police depts.  I just turned 21 (mich. law) and bought my first pistol.  Cost then $84 with 3 12 rnd mags and 2 boxes of ammo.  Also came in a Browning pistol rug.  Still have it.

I have a BHP in 40S&W. I use it in IDPA and it is my CC gun.  I love it! Buy it fast before someone else does!

I think a will get this.  I was concerned about SA, feeding (because of the age of this model) and hammer bite.  It seems like this may be a good place to start.

Some have told me first gun should be a 22 auto for these purposes.

For about $200 you can buy a .22LR conversion for your HP--the best of both worlds. I bought one of the first when they became available in 2004 and to be honest it hasn't been off the gun since, except for cleaning. 2000 rounds through it last year alone.

Showing up at a range or club with a P-35 immediately shows everyone that you're a person of style and taste.

Snake, good to see you over here from AmBack! And I couldn't agree more on the benefits of showing up with a P-35.

Snake speaks the truth!

Snake does in fact speak not with a forked tongue . . . the HP is indeed one of John Moses Browning’s finest designs. Granted the number of gunsmith’s that can tweak this platform are not as numerous as the 1911, search out and find the HP gurus and you’ll be a fan for life (find an old Cylinder & Slide HP, they’re the bomb). And for us with smaller hands you don’t have to worry about the grip safety.

The Hi-Powers out of Wayne Novak's shop are great too!!!!
