Browning Hi-Power practical

[redhemi]

I've been looking for something else to shoot that might be almost as good as my 1911's. I looked at Sigs, CZ's (have a deposit on one now) when I came across this Browning in the F/S section at a far price. I've heard a lot about these so I pulled the trigger (intended) and bought it. After getting it out of jail I did a quick clean (really didn't need it) and oil and off to the range I went. I must say it was very easy to shoot POA was great and felt good in my hand. I now will be able to give my SA 1911 9mm an occasional rest from the range because I now have something that I enjoy shooting just as much. Sorry no target pics but here's a couple of the Browning with the new grips I just got.

Very nice, looks great with the VZ grips. I got lucky and found one at a pawn shop many years ago for a great price. They are good shooters, the trigger is much better when you take the mag disconnect out. They are solid, well built handguns. I found some custom wood grips with the browning medallion on them for mine. Your gun is a keeper, don't ever sell it.

Here's my practical.

Looks great! Congrats on the purchase!
I need to shoot my Hi-Power more often.

OP, I'm very impressed with the new CZ's. Great gun out-of-the-box! Highly recommend them.

Great guns. I have a practical that I purchased in the early 90's. It was one of the last of the forged frame models..

Nice looking Browning Practical. Here's mine, a 1986 Mk II, just picked up about 3 weeks ago. Lot of fun.

Well done OP

Wow, that's a gorgeous pistol

It was the Practical that gave me hammmer bite and not the MKIII as I assumed it would. I do miss the Practical though. The nicest looking BHP from the factory.
