My new Browning Hi Power

[1911whore]

I just picked it up today!!! Thanks Sam!! Man I like it a lot and think it may become my IDPA gun. WHO owns a Hi power, i want to hear your expieriences and see soome targets.

Do the 1 in 10 barrels like lighter or heavier 115gr vs 147 gr bullets???

My father owns one. It older than I. I put about 400+ rounds threw it. Not a single hiccup. One thing they DO NOT like is soft lead ammo. My dad shot a box of "range" ammo and it was soft nose lead. It fouled up the barrel bad and he spent days picking with a dental pick.

I got the little bit left out by shooting factory fresh

Have one and love it . Shoots lead ,fmj and hps. Switching over from a glock. Nothing wrong with the g34, but its time for a change .I will keep you posted.

Good on you - any machine designed by John Moses Browning can be depended upon.

I've got a Novak spec ops that I'll post a pic of later today.

I don't have Browning Hi-Power in 9mm but I do have an FN Hi-Power in .40S&W. Does that count?

One of the best guns ever designed,and John Brownings last design. As a replacement for the 1911, it never made it, but a lot of other countries recognized the genius and beauty of the design and adopted it. I don't think it has ever been out of production.

I have a .40 BHP. I'm quite fond of this gun, it feels wonderful in the hand and is pretty accurate to boot. I'm not too fond of the .40 round, but it is not bad at all when shot from the all-steel Hi-Power.

I too have an FN, .40sfs; my second and this time I'm keeping it. Great gun and thanks again Khanh.

Another HP fan here! Never had much luck with the 147 gr. bullets. My HPs shoot well with WWB 115 gr. FMJ for practice and 124 gr. Hydra-Shoks for when the poop hits the propeller!

Here's an old pic.

Haven't had a chance to get my new 9mm BHP to the range, but I'm sure looking forward to it. Really like the easy break down compared to a 1911.

Only complaints so far are the mag disconnect (trigger play is gritty with a mag in, smooth without) and the thumb safety. Both easy to correct.

Congrats and have fun!

I need one.

Yes I do.

In a .40

I had a HP 9mm many years ago fine hand gun sold it for cash for a Sig P226.

I've never been a fan but I do respect its history and reputation. My opinion is purely based on looks. those who own them just love them to death. I was turned on to CZ years ago and that has become my new love.

I have a WWII Canadian Inglis,a 1980's Utah addy commercial,and a funky old Argentine military that will out shoot anything else I own.

I have a '72 version in 9mm and a newer Mk III in 40 cal. BTW, CDNN carries very nice checkered replacement grips - which I'm pretty sure I spotted in a previous post. For about $25.00 they are a great deal, fit perfectly.
