These are great pistols. I love my Browning High Power Practical. I bought mine new back in 1993. It came with 2) 13 round mags and may have been made a year or more earlier. It's basically an upgraded Mark III with rubber grips, adjustable sites, and a 2 tone finish
I have a 1983 manufacture P35. Super great shooter. Only issue is it is persnickety with magazines. I've found any mag for a P35 prior to the late 80's often works fine. The newer mags, not so much. And Lord forbid I ever need to replace the original grips. They ain't cheap. Thanks again, Shep!
I just bought a newly made inglis l9a1 from sds imports and it is put together better and looks better than just about every other hi power i have seen and it was only $414. Not a single mim part on it
MecGar improved the magazines from 13 to 15 cartridges. If you have a new and an old side by side you can see that the new one is straight walled while the old ones has indentations about 3/4 inch at the base. Also if you disassemble the two, the new one has a flat follower while the old has two protruding 'leg' extensions. The changes make room for the 2 more rounds. Why FN did not do it the MecGar way as early as 1935 is an unanswered mystery.
Do you still get hammerbite? Whit the old ones you did. Here in Denmark you have to get a longer barrel in the the gun before you can get legally, because the minimum length is 21 cm. And only shooting on a range,no carry. Which is a good thing in my opinion.
I know some of the BHs have a circular skeletonized hammer instead of the spur hammer. Is a Mark III accurate if it has the circular skeletonized hammer? I have a Mark III clone with the circular hammer.
Nice handgun, for many people this is the best 9mm pistol, cheers from Brazil.
Australian Defence Force issued with these since WWII until the adoption of Sig Sauer P320

Standard issue here in Australia until we fully adopt the new Sig Sauer P320s

The Hi-Power was ahead of its time, had it been a double action it would have been a game changer. Great video
Just got one for 279.99
Claire Redfield’s pistol from Biohazard 2
Honestly
Great example, thanks for uploading!
Mine is new from 2014 bright polished blue with Ivory grips and adjustable sights. It’s my only 9mm.

Very nice! I have a few myself, my Mark III is one I'd never sell.
External extractor came about mid-1960s
I Generally don't like Semi-auto Pistols (Because I like Revolvers but this is only Semi-auto pistol I want to had)
