Browning Hi Power thoughts?

[Exodus343]

Gonna go pick one up today (start 10 day wait -_- )

What kinda inputs can fellow owners give me?

And is the ammo myth of running +P rounds just a myth? Or should I avoid all high pressure rounds ?

Watch your grip for slide bite.
Consider the magazine disconnect fix.

Shoot, have fun.

Which model? Bet you love it.

Get on the waiting list for a pair of Spegel Grips.

You're going to love it OP. What kind are you getting? I have a black MKIII. BHPs have outstanding ergonomics and point/shoot so naturally for me. Mine's had about 2,000 rounds through it without any kind of malfunction. One of these days I want to get it shipped to C&S for some work.

+1. You going Standard or MK3 ? The bluing on the Standard is excellent.

I'm not sure which variant it is
It's got Novak style sights but seller told me the serial number dates it to 1980 production

It is a fine gun. The stock trigger is a bit heavy to my liking. I get the infamous hammer bite. My BHP is not a gun I shoot often - I have many other guns for that purpose, mostly CZ's and 1911's. But when I do, I enjoy it when wearing a glove.

I have a FEG BHP clone, it's not really that great of a gun in my opinion, I would recommend a more modern 9mm like a CZ75

I have a cz sp01
I just want a BHP for my collection

Great minds think alike!

Browning P35 is old school, metal pistol with great grip and natural pointing---I carried one (cocked & locked) for 12 years when managing gun stores (there wasn't much choice in those days)---the more modern MK111 (cast frame) Hi Powers will be fine with +P ammo, I would avoid such ammo in earlier pistols. These days, I would probably choose a more modern poly-pistol like an HK P2000 or P30 for a carry pistol, but the fine old Browning will still do the job! A true classic and a fine shooter!

I got a 1981 BHP. When the FBI had the BHP for their HRT they had Novaks so maybe FBI surplus.

I would use standard 9mm and the Remington 115 JHP (#R9MM1) is what I use for reliability.

If it said "Assembled in Portugal" on frame then it is good for +P because that is a cast frame and not a forged frame.

Enjoy and thank you for sharing.
