Beautiful browning hi-power 9mm - You Can Win This

Guns Magazine, May, 2004

How many different semi-auto pistol designs have been produced since the origin of the breed? Doubtless the number would stagger the imagination. When the prize project of some hopeful inventor is warily floated on the world market, often as not it slips beneath the waves in short order. It's a rare design that stands the test of time.

Without question one of the most successful autoloading pistol designs of all time is the Browning Hi-Power. Produced by Fabrique Nationale Herstal in Belgium, today's Hi-Power shares all the good traits of the original design yet incorporates the upgrades modern shooters demand.

So what's new? The thumb safety is ambidextrous, larger than earlier versions and more easily manipulated. The redesigned hammer spur is far less likely to pinch the shooter's hand, and the current 10-round magazines feature a spring to smoothly eject them at a touch of the magazine release.

One recent addition that can't be seen externally is the positive firing pin safety. The firing pin is absolutely secured against movement until you release it by pressing the trigger. Combined with the Hi-Powers magazine disconnect which deactivates the trigger when the magazine is removed, this is an exceptionally safe pistol.

What's not new? Everything savvy shooters have loved about the Hi-Power since 1935--excellent accuracy, outstanding reliability, easy takedown for cleaning and human engineering that makes this perhaps the sweetest shooting 9mm pistol ever designed.

This particular version of the Hi-Power features a rust-resistant silver chrome finish, hand-filling Pachmayr stocks with Browning medallions and big, bold adjustable sights. Furnished with two magazines in a lockable hard case, the FN/Browning Hi-Power is an all-time classic that has never lost its appeal.
