OK guys all these pics are making me jealous... if you were looking to pick up a hi-power, where would you start looking? A basic model, functional, doesn't have to be pretty, not too pricey.

OK, I don't post here often. Spend most of my spare time over at TBF -- been hooked on Berettas the past few years. BUT, the second pistol I bought after Bill Clinton renewed my interest in shooting back in 1994 was this H-P Practical.
It went to Novak's last year for a modest upgrade: trigger job (but I kept the mag safety -- after all, I do live in CA), crowned barrel, Novak's strong-side thumb safety, Cylinder & Slide wide trigger with FN hammer and all the small parts done in matte blue. Oh, and some night sights from Trijicon. I've thought about selling this pistol numerous times over the last 16 years but have never been able to do it. The number one reason is that from the first shot in 1994 to now it has NEVER had a single failure of any kind. That and it feels great in my hand. Here's a pic I took after it came back from Novak's. ![]() MarkA |

MarkA,
Nice looking HP Practical you have there. I've been thinking of customizing one of my HP's, and the Practical or a Mk. III that I have come to mind. May I ask what you paid Novak's for the work?

The Mk. II was produced only between 1982-1987-ish.
Notice the grey parkerized finish: (The grips are not original, which are supposed to be the black plastic ones with the thumbrests) ![]() The rib on the slide between the front and rear sights is unique to the Mk. II: ![]() The hole in slide below the barrel was designed to help drain the Mk. II of water in case it was immersed during combat: ![]()

If you wanted to pick up a used one as a project gun FN High Power beaters on Gunbroker start around $375 and ones in decent shape start around $450. They'll be the early version with built in sights. But they look like a lot of fun to fix up.
The Hi-Power is on my wish list, but sadly my next two handguns are going to have to be something compact for Summer CCW. I already have two full size firearms, and need something to fill a different roll. Eventually a High Power will make it into the collection. Last edited by tacticalcity; 10-02-2011 at 5:16 PM.. |

beetle, very impressive example but to me it looks as if it might be post-war 1952-1954 era police issue. I used to have one a few years ago and regret selling it. Perhaps I'm wrong, but to verify FN had date codes which look like "numbers in a box" stamped on various components and parts.

thanks for the info Falcon! Yes mine looks a lot like yours, the serial number is in the 44XXX range. goes to show that even the big/well established auction houses can get it wrong.
