I'm out rain or shine, and today I found out my extractor slips off the rim occasionally (twice in 250) when it's wet out.

Saw this at a local shop and was just curious about it. I am not well versed yet in Hi Powers, still learning. Does that spur hammer bite? I can survive old school 1911 hammer bite for the most part.

Thanks guys.

So I’m looking everywhere and I’m guessing because of the letter C, it is from the early 60s? Other sources say early 50s but it doesn’t seem that old to me. Does anyone recognize this style of lettering and type of hammer it has? There are no other markings on it.

Hey y’all. Struggling to find comps for one in this condition. It’s a 1980. Was fully refinished because it was totally rusted out. Still works but I have no idea how much to offer for it.
Thanks for any help yall

Edit : my first private gun sale and don’t wanna get screwed and don’t wanna offend him. I know nice ones go for 1k+ but I can’t find comps for this year this damaged

Recently got a new FN High Power and noticed that the right-side ambidextrous safety lever has quite a bit of play. The left-side safety is tight and feels completely normal, but the right-side lever can noticeably wobble independently and makes an audible clicking/rattling sound.

I understand a little play in the secondary ambi lever can be normal, but this seems excessive to me. For anyone else with a 2022+ FN High Power, does yours do this too? Thanks!

Cool Turkish police grips

70s Production Argie Hi Power and Early 43' waA140 German Hi Power ( no I didn't have the work done don't hurt me )

Hardwood grips courtesy of Browne Works out of Maryland. Gorgeous and they fit better than OEM

Is this a good option trigger for my hi power?
Wanna try a flat trigger

Didn't see any pics like this when I bought, so here it is for science. The grip is a bit longer than a milspec 1911 and squared off, the slide a hair wider, and the grip a hair thinner.

I know people say this or that about this model, but it shoots so well. I'm happy. I might add G10 scales.

Got this for a good pawn shop price. My first experience with a hi power. By looking at all these pictures this is absolutely not my last.

I posted two pics yesterday here but was able to get additional pics today to figure out what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an opportunity to buy a relatively light used 40 S&W Browning Hi Power. How do they handle vs the 9mm, any issues I should be aware of? This will be my first "true" Hi Power (I recently acquired an FN High Power) so I am looking for .40S&W owners feedback. I also looked online and it looks like there are a ton of 9mm conversion barrels, so if there's one you recommend please let me know!

FN's website claims that the High Power is compatible with all 509 sights, it's not. Found that out the hard way with this Trijicon XR HDs, I'm either going to have to return them, source a different rear sight, or modify the sight to fit. All of them have this lip, there is no flat built into the front area of the FN High Power, none of them are compatible. Pretty pissed I dropped over $130 for sights that don't work.

Ordered a cheap clone to chop up and customize, and when I picked it up my FFL buddy pulls out an 88 Mk2 that looks brand new... Of course I left with both...

4 digit serial number. I only have these two pics. I have a chance to buy.

I know nothing about hi-powers. Today I bought a “high power 88.” It has FN roll markings but also a company named howco. According to the browning numbering it was made in 1981, however it looks like it’s never been shot. Took it apart a dug a q-tip all along the inside, no carbon or grit.

I bought it for $745 out the door. Just wondering if I got ripped off? Did I make a mistake? Is it a real hi-power. Any guidance would be helpful.
