Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Scratched the itch for a Hi-Power

As I may have mentioned in the Super B thread, I shot a friends HI Power and instantly fell into infatuation.

I grabbed this one up on Gunbroker and picked it up at my LGS today.

It's a 1985 FN, that I highly suspect was refinished...if it wasnt, then it was unfired:


It came with a 13-round mag and two 15-round mags:


Gun shop is also a range, so I ran a couple boxes through it.It balked on feeding about 4-5 times, but I think it was because it was a bit dry and I think the finish is so pristine, it needs some breaking in.

Overall, very pleased with it.

And now, I can live up to my signature line..

Aqualung

The one Hi-Power I had was a Mk III and it had a painted/baked on looking finish. It was tough but susceptible to boogering up. Hi-Powers are nice and you will like it. I'd say something about the trigger but there are those who would tell me I'm nuts because that's just the thing to do. So I'll just leave it at the triggers are tough on many Hi-Powers and leave the comments to the others. Nice pistol.

Congratulations on your first BHP!

Nice! My VZ grips came today for my HP.

I have owned a lot of them, but am currently without. Good pistols., and a lot of fun

Very nice pistol, sir. The only 9mm pistol I own is a Browning Hi Power.

Very nice, for many years i had an infatuation with the Mk II version of the Hi Power, and finally snagged a nice shooter on GB a couple years ago. The BHPs are great guns. Congrats on your find.

Import marks show it's an ex military/LE pistol, likely from Israel. It has been re-finished for sure. It's a MK II Hi Power made 1982-1987 (IIRC) Congratulations!
