Hiya, I have a few stupid questions, please help this dumb n00b. 1) What is the difference between the "Hi-Power Standard", "Hi-Power Practical", and the "Hi-Power Mark III"? Do all three pistols offer a firing pin safety? 2) Can you get night sights with Hi-Powers? 3) Can you get a beavertail for your Hi-Power? 4) Are Browning Hi-Power pistols combat accurate & reliable? 5) Is the Browning Hi-Power the standard issued pistol of the British Military? 6) Are the new Browning PRO pistols any good? They sure look like USPs... Sorry for all the dumb questions. Looking forward to reading your helpful responses. Thank you. |
Depends on the year of mfgr, for the FPS, IIRC? The Practical is their two-tone model.
Maybe not always "with" them, but you can easily have them installed on a new model.
I've never seen one. Why would you want one????
At one time, the HP was THE most military adopted/issued sidearm in the world, bar none. Seems to sum it up, IMO.
I'm not sure, but I don't think that's no longer the case these days????
Everyone's definition of "good" will be different. That's why we have hundreds of different models instead of one or two, no? 
No such thing, sir!

Hiya, Thx for the reply. I was referring to the newest Browning Hi-Powers, the one listed on Browning USA's website. I thought having a beavertail might be a good idea since there's a really good chance for the hammer to nag onto your clothes when carrying the weapon "cocked & locked". Last time I heard, the British SAS uses the Browning Hi-Power during offensive missions and they switch over to the SiG Sauer P226 9x19mm when conducting counter-terrorism missions. Since the Hi-Power is a double-stacked handgun, is the grip really fat? Is it as easy to conceal as a 1911A1? Ty. |
The High Power has a SURPRISINGLY comfortable grip for a double stacked 9mm. I like its feel almost as much as a 1911, and certainly feel to my taste that its more comfortable to shoot than a glock, a beretta, or a CZ |
Ty, The Hi Power grip is VERY ergonomic and not at all blocky or fat like some more "modern" double stack automatics. Very narrow like a 1911, the Hi Power is one of the most concealable fullsized pistols out there. It can be a great carry piece. |
