Hi-Power Pics

[beemaze]

Personally, I'd keep your C-series HP stock as it is in great condition! Buy a newer model & modify it to your heart's content. As for the stock grips with the red backing, they too have collector value. See if you can wipe off the name/SS# with a mild solvent. I have a spare pair of rubber Pachmayr's for sale (haven't bumped the thread for a while).

I am bowing to all the awsome Hi-Powers. Here is my humble offering.

Oh how I hate you all. I so desperately need a high power. But I dont have a house to sell to be able to afford one.

I saw what looked to be 2 very nice HP on Bud's used gun web page. They were reasonable priced and they do layaway.

Please reply with link to that set of Pachmayr's for sale. I may have seen it before, but I keep getting distracted by all the fun stuff to read in the forums...

Probably a violation of the rules, but what the heck...

Here's my 27 year old BHP (1981). This one is blued and is in extra mint condition.

IMG, that's nice!! Want to sell her??? I still have 3 BHPs, but I sold my 1987 Belgium made polished blue HP in 1988. The HP was my first hand gun, my dad was an FFL at the time as said this is the last of the belgium made HPs you should buy it. Got it for $325.00 NIB @ cost. Sold it for a Stainless Steel S&W 5906 a year later because I though SS was cool

My dad sold it for me but told me I would regret it. It makes me sick everytime I think about it. I picked up another polished blue HP in 1998 but is was not the same as my first. So sad, but I could be happy again if Reese556 sold me his

Is that a custom safety lever, or stock aftermarket, on that Charles Daly HP?

You traded a 1987 Belgium made polished blue HP for a S&W 5906?! You sir, no longer deserve a 1987 Belgium made polished blue HP!

Sorry, but selling that particular BHP would be akin to selling one of my kidneys...

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.

Might be tough to pick up locally, the one pictured below was purchased off gunbroker.

I'd suggest you try the Private Firearms Sales forum.

Modified Practical

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.
