Just got a Browning Hi Power

[MTA]

Just got an assembled in Portugal Browning Hi Power. It is in damn near perfect condition with just a few idiot marks near the slide lever.

What are these worth? How is the quality compared to other hi powers?

Any info would be appreciated folks. By all appearances it looks and feels like a quality pistol

It's been refinished.
And I'm jealous.

Junk. Trash.
Do not soil your hands with it.
Place it in a garbage bag right away.
Bring bag to reunion so I can land fill it for you.

Nice, looks like it was born in 94.

Does that effect the value of it? Wondering what its value would be

I tried to like the Hi-Power but hated the hammer bite. Even the round hammer would bite me. You are probably okay if you don't have fat bastard hands like me.

Also removing the magazine safety is a good idea if the trigger is gritty.


Shoot and enjoy it, I hope you like it.

Sweet! I love mine, but don't have fat bastard hands.

I honestly don't have those answers. Sorry.
It looks like a good and solid shooter.
Just like I'd want.

Yep everything is great but the trigger feels like crunchy garbage. Ill have to remove that. Thanks man

Congrats on your Hi Power! It looks just like the first one I got in the mid 80s. I put some nice combat sights and Elephant ivory grips on it. It was so nice my brother talked me out of it. Triggers are definitely lacking compared to a 1911.

But doing a disassembly on it, and running a Dremel tool with small wire brush will do wonders on that trigger.
