I think they should make a model with room to mount a red dot and a rail for a light. Awesome pistoles but they will die without these, IMO

The Brownings were always high dollar and back in the day 9mms were snubbed. Everyone that has handled my Hi Power and FEG Hi Power copy commented how good they feel compared to other high capacity pistols. Glocks and Berettas are too thick in the grip area for me. IMO the only thing the plastic gripped pistols have going for them is weight. A good holster and belt take care of that.

I don't know, I had just about decided to go with a $9K 10mm Luger, but I'm thinking I just might grab fifteen of these instead.

I like it! Probably will have to get one.

Wish it had checkered front strap and back strap.

I had a 4" SA in .45 was rather slick in my hands with no checkering. Frame looked very similar.

I'll do one for sure.

I like it at that price. My beat up old Browning is my desk-drawer pistol at work. I could see having one “done right” for a fun gun.

I'll have to get one. One of my south African friends was a recce in the border war with Angola. He used to talk about his high power that had a rifle stock he could attach to to it. Many of my Rhodesia friends spoke often about their hi powers too. The cz 75 was also pretty popular there.

I like the hi power because it fits me and i shoot it well.My 1976 Hi power is starting to show its age,i was thinking about sending it to Robar or Cylinder & Slide for an upgrade and a re finish.
Might pick up one of these just to have.

I'm glad it is back. Improved trigger makes it nice. Hope they make a polished version in deep blue some day. I'd add it to my BHP collection.

The video does show some plastic bias. Typical now days. They just don't get it.


...yet

Figures. But still a cool gun with some improvements on the original.

That company specializes in copying classic designs whose patents have expired.

This is also an offering of theirs. A Beretta 92.

Yep, I was not trying to out you, understand. I am looking for the actual situation. Not really up for ordering 50 or 100 pistols which won't be that attractive to most shooters.

As far as I can tell, the MADE IN TURKEY label is a turn off and leads to lower selling prices.

High Powers are usually stippled instead of checkered. I'm not sure why but the steel maybe a little thin to checker.
