Albeit I only have one HiPower, I am a huge fan. I'm sure over the years when the money is right, I will collect many more. My interest is in the history, availability, production, and price of the Browning HiPower Renaissance version. (Picture below).
Here are my current understanding:
>The Renaissance is a Browning production, including in-house engraving.
>It was only available through special order from a few Browning dealers across the United States.
>There are fake Renaissances in the market (which Browning can verify)
>Gun Broker shows some available in $3500-$4000 range which indicates special order from a dealer would be around $2500.
Please correct me if any of my assumptions are incorrect.
Questions:
>Is it still being produced?
>If yes, where and how can they be purchased?
>Are there any mechanical differences from a standard HP?
>Is there such a thing as MSRP on the Renaissance?
>I've heard they were possibly on ATF C&R list but have since be removed. I have check the most recent list and could not find them. (perhaps my mind and/or eyes are failing)
>Do they / where they produced in .40 and 9mm?
