Morning, thanks for the video. The John Inglis company up in Canada in 1859 making grist mill parts, then later on washing machines. In WWI they made war material, then reverted back to household machines after. The Depression hit them like many companies hard and they went into receivership, but a Major Hahn bought the factory and ran it under the original name. He initially got a Bren gun contract and was producing them for the Commonwealth when the High Power production started as well. They made other arms and parts during the war too. After the war they went back to making household appliances until the late '80's when Whirlpool bought them out.
Thanks for watching! Inglis certainly has a very cool and unique history. They also made Sten guns if memory serves me right
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide The Sten guns and the No 4 Mk 1 Lee Enfield rifles were made at Long Branch Arsenal, which was in Toronto but a different location.
I have one of Inglis FN Hi Powers, great pistol!
Saw a few still being carried by other coalition forces when I was in afghan in 2019. I was issued an M9 and most the army guys already had the new M17s. So cool to see the HP still being used with such new pistols.
Jake's favorite gun! It is cool they are still used current day. The Hi Power is probably the most used gun by militaries in History. Glock is probably catching up but the Hi Power has been widely used by a lot of countries!
Best hi power collection I’ve seen, congrats! 🎉
Thank you! It's taken a few years to get this all together.
The Hi Power is such a cool gun! So much history behind it!
Yes it is!
Pretty cool history I always liked your videos Jake you're awfully knowledgeable
Thank you!
Beverly hill’s cop issue 1984-
Great info, nice job on the video thx!
Thanks for watching!
Great video on a great gun !
Thank you!
Great job 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Other than cosmetics do you think there is much functional difference between Israeli contract mark IIIs and the civilian Mark IIIs in the 90s?
Ive owned both and the Israeli guns are generally more well used but functionally the same as the civilians. A good spring change on the Israeli guns will get them back up to par with the civilian guns.
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide yeah my Israeli Mark III will usually have a malfunction maybe about every 200 rounds. I should probably send mine to BH springs solutions or cylinder and slide. Is there one you'd recommend over the other?
@@tannerwashburn4002both do excellent work. If your wanting to get it 100% reliable and leave it stock otherwise I could always get that done for you if your ever up this way. If your wanting other custom work a couple other great places are MK3 Custom and Nighthawk.
@@PearceBrothersGearGuide Yea I'd love that! I love shooting it, but don't really carry it day to day as it's not quite 100% with those old springs. I'll have to get in touch with you next time I'm back up there!
Mine was one of the MKIII Israeli guns. It wasn’t pretty, but it felt good and was 100% reliable. Stupidly sold it off cheap. I see an SA 35 in my future.
I really like my SA35 it's been really good to me... great price too
It‘s a single action looks like a double action…funny
👍
Thanks👍. Nice Video.🇺🇲🔪🌲🔥
Thanks for watching!
A very precisely crafted ill-handling pistol in a mediocre caliber. After much effort to master the HP and failure to do so I sold my consecutive numbered pair.
They aren't for everybody. I sure do like mine. Thanks for watching
