Any Browning Hi-Power Fans?

[Zephyr]

William, I always wanted a Browning Hi-Power Practical in .40 S&W.  It's always been one of those pistols, that always seemed to elude me.

[MOUNTAIN WILLIAM]

I know exactly what you mean, the Practical is the only two tone Pinto that I'd own and to be honest the slide would be hard chromed to match, in short order. At the risk of offending anyone, I don't do tupperware or aluminum (which leaves more for those that do like them) and with the exception of Hi Powers, all of my handguns are stainless or hard chrome.

Yep, stainless guns I got, pseudo-stainless, nope.

[MOUNTAIN WILLIAM]

I wish Tanfoglio would make a Stock II in stainless but until they do, I'm stuck with hard chrome.

[Ascension]

I am and have owned a number of them over the years. They just feel right in my hand like nothing else. the Gen 3 S&W's are a close second and I own a few of those also.
These 2 are my currents with the FEG now residing with my Son.

My baby the Browning I have owned for over 20 now and she has seen many thousands of rounds!

Ascension, looks like you have a very nice Browning-marked Mk III with the standard spur-hammer.  For awhile, some Hi-Powers were imported with the classic FN 'scroll-mark'.  I have never seen one in person, but it would be nice to have one to 'round-out' my collection.

I have a Mark III made in 89 that is a fun shooter.  The VZ grips slim it down to fit my smaller hand better.  After getting a Glock 20 a few months ago that will take a 6" conversion barrel to 9mm, I have considered selling the H.P.  Might be one of those mistakes you make occasionally if it happens.

Yes, I am very fond of my Mark III with C&S ignition parts, crisp 4.75 lb trigger, night sights.

Am I cheating if I admit my Hi-Power is an FN, not a Browning? 

[10mmfan]

I had a couple feg pjk's. Accurate and reliable but I have big hands so hammer bite was common

Nope, still a Hi-Power in my book.

[sqlbullet]

Yeah...I would say if we are counting FEG's (and we should) then an FN is not really out of bounds.  You could argue it is MORE Hi-Power than the Browning.
