My First HiPower w/Pics
« on: March 15, 2012, 08:18:36 PM »
I've always wanted a HiPower, but the opportunity never presented itself until now. I am the proud owner of a 1973 "C" series.

I've never been a big 9mm fan but I have always wanted a High Power.  They have to be one of the best feeling guns in the hand.  Congrats and happy shooting you lucky SOB ;D

Dayyum!!! That is nice.

I have a ca. 2000 Mk. III with plastic grips, etc. Wonderful shooter, and yes, they feel great in the hand.

Enjoy.

The HiPower is the only 9mm I own (if you don't count the 9mm cylinder for my Old Model Blackhawk)It is a classic that has that "Just Right" feel in your hand.

Very nice.   (and thanks for the pics.)

I've always thought they were neat guns and a bit of history to go with them.

if you have accuracy problems with it.... slug the barrel... my Belgian P35 two piece barrel slugged a full .357" ( not a typical .3555" for 9mm or .3565" for 38super)

If I ever own a 9mm, I hope it is a Hi Power.
