I love when Hickok’s playing oldschool.
Really suits him right
Best school
It fits so well!
I've been watching this man for almost a decade now, it's still fun watching what he always does.
he is the best
The Browning 1935 High Power, probably the best all round, no frills, no nonsense, 9mm EVER PRODUCED, a MAN's gun, not a gun for the " Let's have every conceivable attachment possible on a handgun including a searchlight, grenade launcher, anti aircraft attachment, SOS flares, harpoon gun, and finally an exocet missile attachment". A no nonsense "Don't MESS WITH ME or you will DIE" gun, If the SAS approved it then it's good with me.
No argument there. You nailed it.
His aim is so effortless. I guess that comes with years of shooting and smoking pot

@Dino612 Actually, I'm more scared of cross eyed shooters. You never know what might happen.
@Estas Pendejo? His short target seems full of holes. I bet I would miss a lot of 25 yard gongs too.
Best comment lol 😂
Short summers down there in Tennessee....
I used to have a Hi Power, sold it, but I still have a magazine, guess that means I have to get another.
you could send it to me, but then that'd just give me more of a reason to buy one too.
For me the first reliable double stack 9mm ever manufactured. Sweet piece of history.
I do like the internal extractor version of the P35. Only reason I can think of why they got rid of the internal extractor was expense. The philosophy of companies these days is to go cheap cheap cheap!
Seeing the third shot on the gong actually make its way to it was pretty cool 2:20
that’s what i came to the comments for😂 glad someone thinks alike
2nd too
"Being sexist using a MANual safety" LOL
It's a Whoa-MANual saftey.
😂😂🤣
A firing pin block must be a feminine device, as it's not always visible and a lot of guys can't find it.
Haha.. I was thinking the same thing.. you beat me to the post! Well done sir
Gender neutral high power....
A hi power or a 1911a1 . The 2 most" right" looking guns ever made .
I just got a 1945 Remington Rand field grade 1911 from the CMP last week.
When I heard the High Power was out of production, I went shopping. I found a 1973 Belgian that looks like it was refinished for $650.
after that it was pretty much down hill for pistol aesthetics excluding the beretta 92.
@@pamcm1098 i can but dream living in England. Though there is a picture of me in about 1967 (3 years old) holding my uncles service fn and wearing his beret .unloaded of course! Why he was allowed to bring it home i'll never know but he was an mp.
I have shot both, Hi power every day and twice on Sunday.
@@joeyassyrian lol,... don't know about that. I think my VP9 is beautiful.
it's insane how many militaries used them and how long they used them. A lot of them use them to this day. I am in the belgian army and they only replaced them with 5.7's since about 2013... We used them for nearly 80 years (more if you count the phasing out) which is incredible. This is the FAL of pistols, used in pretty much every conflict since ww2
It's interesting you refer to them as the FAL of pistols. As both were designed by the same man. Dieudonne Saive.
@@WALTERBROADDUS both made by FN too. Both reliable, durable and robust guns that are made to perform well in all scenarios which is why theyre both used that much
@@joshkiej6601 one of the few guns liked by both good guys and bad guys.
This is a gun that you can't really appreciate the beauty of until you hold one in your hands.
One of the nicest looking pieces ever designed. Along with a 1903 pocket hammerless and a 1911 and a S&W model 19 . Love the classics
Much nicer looking than Brownings' 1900, after seeing the 1911 and High Power it just looks off, the proportions aren't right. The man really was a master of timeless firearms design.
i own a 1903...i dont like the internal hammer
Hitting the gong from that distance! Showcases this gentleman's shooting skills!!!!
I love my FEG Hungary high power clone was my first pistol purchase
They are great clones too!
My first buy as well.
Was trained on it in 85, has to be my fav handgun even today. Anytime I see one I feel nostalgic.
I like the shiny steel and the polished wood. Steve Lee - I love guns.
I LOVE my Browning Hi-Power. None of my friends do, but they don't know what they are missing lol
Wow how can they pass up the original Lara Croft pistol of choice!
@@theexpatgunner They are all into the new age polymer pistols. Don't get me wrong, my EDC is a P365XL. Recently changed from a SP101. But there is something about the feel of a Hi-Power or a 1911 that is just right.
I love everything about the Hi-Power except shooting it. I wish I could love everything, but god damn that hammer bite ruins the experience for me. The web of my hand bleeds and get torn up because of it. PPK style firearms do the same thing. Bought and sold a CZ-70 several years ago for the same reason, hammer bite city. The trigger slap on that gun was super uncomfortable too btw. I don't keep guns that just hurt me to shoot because I fire alllll my guns to love them all equally and I won't want to fire the ones that hurt. :(
And Axel Foley's pistol of choice.
@@mtgAzim Wait, he carries a Hi-Power? I thought it was 1911 at a glance. Looks like I am watching a Beverly Hills Cop marathon this weekend.
Thanks to you Hickok 45 I have taken possession of a S&W Model 29 circa 1979 six inch in a about 95% + condition from lay away!!!!!! Thank you!
(The colt) 1911 45 ACP and the (Fabrique Nationale) Browning Hi-Power 9MM. They are the primeval mothers of modern pistols Now. .and they can still participate in this time.
I love how hickok always just gets to the point. he shoots the gun, gives the general rundown of the gun and manages to put the contents of a 20-minute video into a small good video, thanks.
Australian Army still uses them. For those old enough to remember, Serpico also used one!
Thought Serpico used a colt detective special, the .38 snub..?
Absolutely love the HI Power one of the most ergonomic guns ever.
Both Hickok 45 and the BHP are classics!!!
His accuracy is simply incredible.
One of my favourite 9mm pistols.
"Tend to shoot Left Right High Low".... One of the reasons i like the videos before i even watch them!!
She's a beautiful gun, ahead of her time.
The P-35 has always had some very nice lines, a classic !
Lovely... John Browning's last great pistol design. 🔫🕴️👍... 9mm 👏
A longtime favorite of mine has been the S&W 39. It fits my hand so nice. I've held a Hi-Power and it had the same feel--I should really own a Hi-Power :-)
You having shooting problems is like Patrick Mahomes having passing problems! I shot a Browning high-power for the first time in 1983 when one of my supervisors bought one for his military carry while flying. Awesome review sir!
I just finished the new John Browning biography. A good read. He was such a workaholic, he died in the FN factory!
Listening to Hickock trying to form a dad joke out of MANual safety was just too much to handle 😂😂😂
Used to have a Belgian Browning High Power,One of the sweetest pistols I have ever fired!
that 1911 got the 9mm virus 🤣
What an unbelievable firearm, made way back then and better quality than most made today.
As a boy growing up, my favourite pistols were the Colt Peacemaker and the Colt Government model of 1911 ... and then, at an RAF display, I got the chance to hold and fire a Browning Hi-Power. Quite simply, I fell in love - it was as if the gun were made for my hand. Ah ... memories!
Thanks so much for showing us how it's done with such an iconic handgun and bringing back so many great memories for me.
Appreciate y'all ;-)

@@PacificAirwave144 EVERYONE should own a Hi-Power ;-)
Thanks Hickok I have loved the Hi-Power since I first held one. Never had the $$$ to buy one. There is a new SA-35 Springfield Armory. Hope you get one soon, can't wait to see your review. Maybe I could scratch up enough to get one. Thanks again Doug long time fan of Hickok 45.
It fits everyone's hand flawlessly.
I'm 16, and my pops and I have been watching your videos since I was old enough to shoot. God bless you sir
I wish they’d bring back the FN Hi-Power! I want a brand new one.
Sorry, you'll have to settle for a CZ...
@@rcrxjlb Not bad either.
Tisas br9 its a licensed copy of the hi power identical in looks and design all parts interchangeable I have one its awesome
@@danedrake1996 Thanks I’ll check that out!
This channel is the definition of "tell me You are American without saying You are American"
The Canadian army still uses these. I heard there’s stock piles of them brand new in the case that will be sold or never used
Well, small arms in general become obsolete very slowly.
Starting to be phased out. Lots of the ones in service are mix masters. Chinese contract slides. I'm sure there is still some decent condition ones hidden away.
Ours are Inglis hi powers. Made by John Inglis and company ( Inglis appliances )in Toronto .
They bought them for the American invasion.
Too bad chiyna beat em to it.
@@JoelMMcKinney
Uhhhh...what?
@@tays8306 read this thing called history bruh. How am I..... the idiot .... smarter than all these jacktards?
The sound of gun to gong is music to my ears!
Hi Powers are great. During an ammo shortage. You can club people with it.
A really sweet shooting pistol. Accurate, not too much weight on your belt and recoil is not uncomfortable
Talking about still used today, this gun was still in service with the Canadian military for reserve troops in the last decade. A ton were made by the Inglis plant during the war and were being carried around to this day because they will get the job done.
If the pistol shoot left take the sight little bit left & the bulits goes little bit right men you are the best Hickok in the world God bless you 🤠👍⭐🌹
The High Power is, and has been for many years, been one of favorite handguns. Sadly, I sold mine to a friend who was desperate to get into the steel matches way back when. I had intended to replace it but just never got around to it, then the prices went up and it kept dropping in priority... now they are completely out of my price range. I had an extended safety on mine and had also removed the magazine disconnect (which improved the trigger pull considerably), since I want to be able to shoot my pistol at all times, from any position, including upside down with my pinky finger if necessary... which is why all of my 1911 pattern guns have the grip safety removed. Call me crazy but that's the way I like 'em!
Anyway, your High Power makes me jealous and I feel dumb for not replacing it when it was actually possible for me to do so.
Rats!
Cheers,
jc
I love to wacth Hickok's my idol sharp shooter.....
The HI Power 9mm was a formidable alternative to the 1911 in the early 1970's despite the Jeff Cooper fans claiming that it was a "sub-caliber" and inferior to the beloved 45-acp.
It fed ball ammo flawlessly, penetrated far better than the 45-acp, and had the appeal of good looks and pride of ownership, but revolvers were still king in many circles.
The Glock era of the mid-1980's changed everything. 9mm premium (hollow-point) ammo proved to significantly increase its effectiveness. Unfortunately hollow-point ammo did not work well with the HI-Power, and its popularity shifted quickly to other brands that were designed for the newer cartridges.
To this day, I would not trust a Hi-Power with my life unless it had ball ammo in a factory magazine not loaded to capacity.
Classic firearm the (OG) FN Browning Hi-Power, used by British specialist and commando units during the Second World War and formally adapted by the British Army in 1954. This classic pistol remained in active service with the British Army until 2013, and has since been replaced by the Glock G17 Gen 4
They may not be on the front line but I’ve seen them on the sides of base/ range guards within the last few years.
It was built by FN Herstal as the GP35 at the time so it was issued to Axis forces, it is mainly known to have been used by the German Fallschirmjager and Waffen SS units, it was used on the two sides
I have a Browning FN P 35 Inglis Hi Power with tangent sights and the original shoulder/holster stock. very accurate!
Such a wholesome channel 🥺
Living his best life. I watch all your videos before I buy anything. Thank you sir
This is great. I had a good range day with my Hi Power today.
71 yrs ago…great looking pistol! I got a CZ PCR, pretty much same design but would love to have one of there bad ass guns too.
Mine was Vietnam era 1967, when it was issued to me in 2000. Probably still in service with my battalion now. Couldn't fault it though, old though it was.
John Brownings master piece
FN High power was my first gun ever - thanks to the Colonel at Old Town Armory, Alexandria VA, way back.
Yep, it was my first purchase . . . And likely the best.
Love the old school. All steel. High polish blue. Hardwood grips. I don't hate on the new stuff, but my heart still prefers real steel.
This old man is unstoppable!
I have two, and one is my EDC in winter when it's easier to conceal. The later ones (that aren't so collectable) are easily modified to be truly great shooters. They already have good sights, buy 15 round Mec-Gar mags, remove the trigger safety, and replace the thumb safety with an extended version and you have a pistol that will beat any modern gun.
Such a beautiful pistol!
So happy youtube still has this guy around.
2:20 - You can see the bullet flying, that was cool
Wish I still had ANY of my High Powers back, especially the FM Detective from Argentina! Hammer
Thanks for the fond memories, carried one for years during my time in the British Army.
You were correct,, Sir It is a MANUAL safety. Some things in life are sacred. And for those who need an explanation, they will not understand anyhow. But as always, I appreciate the humor ant what a beautiful Hi Power you have there
Hickok may have been the real cause of the ammo shortage.
Hickok, thank you for bringing out the 45 cal and shooting in which we are unable to do anymore.
.45?
Thanks for the chapter 2!! I enjoy shooting my P35, it's a beautiful, functional firearm... but I still hold my 1911s at a slightly higher level.
Stay well
My FFL had one of those but I made the mistake to leaving it there.. I should have grabbed it.
h o w
Made the same mistake a couple years ago. I was getting a different pistol. Saw a nice High-power and picked it up to look at it but decided to not buy it and I never saw it again. I should have bought it.
I don't plan on making the same mistake again. To bad they are becoming more difficult to find these days.
I made a similar mistake a few years back!
Dude same I had the choice of gettin one of these or a AK I chose the AK because that was my dream rifle
@@mastershake2868 either or, always sucks. Think “Both”. It’s easier to payoff, than find the gun of your dreams. 👍🏻😥
Bless your heart old man, I love watching you shoot!
This gun has been on my bucket list for FAR too long. So gorgeous...
I love my Hi Power. In Hickok's hands that Hi Power looks like he is holding a Colt Pony.
Hi Powers are awesome. Hi Points, are not awesome
I've got a 1942ish Nazi FN Hi power and it's my favorite gun I've ever fired. It had some extraction problems at first, but I replaced the extractor and haven't had a hang up since. It's crazy that an 80 year old pistol can be so reliable.
Looks like it fits in the hand perfectly
You’re pulling LEFT!!” ……There, someone is helping you!! Yeah, right!! 😂
I'm really happy you got out the Hi-Power. It's one of my all-time favorites. 2nd only to maybe the CZ-75 which is obviously just a modernized/updated Hi-Power.
Here’s the real Gong Show. Thank you for sharing! Each time the Gong rings; Hickok45 fans smile lol.
I carried my Argentine High Power for years and has holster wear but is in great shape. It still feels right and shoots well. Seemed easier to carry than my 1911A1, so I did.
is it full auto?
Hickok, You r good shooter because you know where to hold after one shot in any pistol or revolver but later you have to push the sight behind to the left side & you will get your bulits always in the point you want exactly 🤠
Best regards for John Hickok too🌹👍🏅🇺🇸
Just thought I would mention that I go back to 1952 just like that FN. My birthday is next Thursday, so... I won't say anymore, but if you really want to. :-)
I have an Argentinian Browning Hi Power clone it is one of the best shooting guns I own, I love that gun.
The HP was my service side arm. It never failed me allthough it was pre ww2 production
Aaah ! My former duty weapon !
Such memories !
One of my favorite handguns of all time. I own 3,.. with one being a true blued model in .40 S&W. and one of the "El Capitan" real blued models with actual adjustable tangent sights on it, graduated out to a 100 meters I think, it was made for the Argentine Army I think, & other S. American country's.The third one is an FN Herstal model with the (SFS) system on on it where when you disengage the safety then the bobbed hammer automatically cocks to shoot, no cocked & locked carry. Then you just push the hammer towards the slide & the safety's automatically engages again. I've never seen another like it. I actually carry a Hi-power for concealed carry during cooler weather, living in Wisconsin that's a lot of the year ! It's Thee last ELOQUENT & most beautiful firearm ever made, and thee most comfortable handgun ever made. It becomes part of your arm as soon as you grasp it. I will never part with any of them, especially since they no longer make them. Very accurate & still in use in the world today in 2021. Pure love.
i love that shot at 2:18, you can actually see the second and third gong bullet fly!
I had a Browning (FN) Hi Power back in the early '80s. It was solid, well made, & fit my hand perfectly. It also wouldn't feed hollowpoints, was finicky with flatnose if they were too flat, and had an atrocious trigger pull for a single action autoloader. I'd love to have another one, but only if FN has resolved those issues.
If you are pulling to the left, then it seems as though the trigger is slightly heavy. I have a Tokarev that has a trigger pull of about 10-15 lbs, I always pulled to the left. I cut a slot in the trigger leaf spring, polished the sear and now I’m doing fine.
Happy father's day hickock
Dear hickok,
Please do a video on the ruger single seven.
Love your videos, btw.
I have one that I got from AIM Surplus; it's a former Israeli Defense Force sidearm. Got the Star of David and other proof stamps in Hebrew characters. It's my favorite carry piece.
Beautiful looking reliable gun the pistol of choice for the British SAS for many years.🧐🇬🇧
I love the Hi power with the rear sights
I have an early Kassnar copy before Browning took over the plant, now called "Brownings". Sweet pistol. Got it for a deal but had to replace a part which a Browning part fit perfectly and worked great.
I inherited a Highpower from my Dad last year in 40 S&W. It has the FFS system installed and the recoil buffer system from BH Spring Solutions. One of my favorite pistols.
