I have two Brownings Hi Powers and a FM Hi Power. Thinking about carrying a Hi Power again for a change. Anyone else carrying a Hi Power?

I carry an FEG. I used to carry my Browning until it was dropped from the catalog. I bought the FEG and had some custom work done like sights, trigger and safety.

I've carried mine, mainly when I go to the range so I don't have to stuff it in a range bag :-)
Generally I have my 3913 on me. I'm less concerned about capacity than concealability and comfort which the S&W 3913 excels at. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Before I bought my BHP in the early 90's I was undecided between the Browning and the 3913. The Browning won and I thought I would get a 3913 later which I never did. Now I am looking for a nice used one and they are going for what they cost new or more back then. I always thought they were the best of the mid size 9's. |

Since I put away my J frame last year, I've been carrying my HiPower daily. I do have a tenancy to take it off more when driving and such (goes in center console) than I did my j frame. But whatevs. It's my carry gun. I gotta go shoot.
Yours are super nice looking BWood!! Beautiful!

I love mine
Carried in a Milt Sparks SSII. The problem I ran into...one day I did the math and realized that it would be a horrible thing to lose to an evidence locker if it ever came to that...so I stopped carrying it

LKCI / Tisas will screw you on warranty otherwise. |

My first pistol was a parkerized BHP bought in 1986. I still have it.
Pulled it out of the safe two years ago. Still a great shooter. |

To be fair, their warranty statement on page 24 and covered again on page 25 pretty much covers their arses, the gun should have been returned directly to you. |

Nice FEG's pop up on the E&E all the time. There is an unfired one on there now. They make nice base guns for basic custom street guns. Mine runs very well and my 'smith never touched the feed ramp. It runs Federal 9BP's all day long.

Quoted: @steve88GT .....what knife is that? I gotta get one! The steel is D2. It rusts easily if you don't keep it oiled and can be hard to sharpen. That's my second pocket clip. It will catch on stuff more than others I have noticed.  Attached File |

What he said, my Tisa busted the extractor at the 3000 round mark and LKCI screwed me over on the warrenty. I put a FN extractor in it but it's been a POS ever since. I actually picked up 2 FEG's since my Tisa crapped out on me. 1 I plan on tuning up and dropping a SFS kit into and using it as a carry gun to replace the FN Hi Power SFS I was using for that.  3 FN/Browning HP's, 2 of the 3 FEG's I own and the POS Tisa. That I might send to BHSS for service, maybe they can get it working.  Another FEG I bought last month. I haven't been able to test fire it yet due to the Kung Flu but I'm thinking it'll be the one that gets the SFS kit and new sights |

I don't carry a BHP as much as I use to. Early 90's Novak Spec Ops when Wickman was in charge of HP work.

They're Simonich Gunner grips, recommended by Mr Garthwaite as part of the build.
They are slim:    I think VZ makes them these days |

The Hi Power always pointed so well for me.
The surplus Mark IIIs have me interested. How does the Hi Power carry compared to say a 229 ? |

Not quite as slim as a 1911 (the grip is a tiny bit wider I think, but not by much..depending on what kind of stocks you have on it), but close. A 229 is a wide brick compared to it. |

For an all steel gun, they are surprisingly light. Though the grip frame is thicker side to side than a 1911 it is shorter from front to back which seems to even it out compared to its big brother. The BHP was my first CCW and I still do carry it occasionally. |
