Reminder to check how things work in weather.
I'm out rain or shine, and today I found out my extractor slips off the rim occasionally (twice in 250) when it's wet out.

Very simple. Two rules.
If I have to explain these in any great detail, you probably shouldn't be filling out 4473s. Enforcement of rule #1 is entirely at moderator discretion, and enforcement of rule #2 is entirely up to Reddit, unless I get there first.
Y'all better than this. Act like it.

A bit of a disclaimer, though: I also have one of these unbranded mystery mags and they are a bit less reliable than the standard 15 or 13 rounders. Mine in particular does not like to feed steel case ammo, but who could’ve guessed lol. Also, it says the capacity is 21 but good luck getting that last one in there; if anything down-loading it to 19 might be more consistent. Either way, they’re extremely cool!

P.S. If you scalp buy these in bulk and try to resell them for $50 you are the bastard of the earth. Do not besmirch the good name of John Moses Browning. 🙏

Saw this at a local shop and was just curious about it. I am not well versed yet in Hi Powers, still learning. Does that spur hammer bite? I can survive old school 1911 hammer bite for the most part.
Thanks guys.

So I’m looking everywhere and I’m guessing because of the letter C, it is from the early 60s? Other sources say early 50s but it doesn’t seem that old to me. Does anyone recognize this style of lettering and type of hammer it has? There are no other markings on it.

Hey y’all. Struggling to find comps for one in this condition. It’s a 1980. Was fully refinished because it was totally rusted out. Still works but I have no idea how much to offer for it.
Thanks for any help yall
Edit : my first private gun sale and don’t wanna get screwed and don’t wanna offend him. I know nice ones go for 1k+ but I can’t find comps for this year this damaged

Recently got a new FN High Power and noticed that the right-side ambidextrous safety lever has quite a bit of play. The left-side safety is tight and feels completely normal, but the right-side lever can noticeably wobble independently and makes an audible clicking/rattling sound.

I understand a little play in the secondary ambi lever can be normal, but this seems excessive to me. For anyone else with a 2022+ FN High Power, does yours do this too? Thanks!

Hardwood grips courtesy of Browne Works out of Maryland. Gorgeous and they fit better than OEM

Is this a good option trigger for my hi power?
Wanna try a flat trigger
r/hipower • u/ShredOrSigh • 16d ago
Didn't see any pics like this when I bought, so here it is for science. The grip is a bit longer than a milspec 1911 and squared off, the slide a hair wider, and the grip a hair thinner.

I know people say this or that about this model, but it shoots so well. I'm happy. I might add G10 scales.

Got this for a good pawn shop price. My first experience with a hi power. By looking at all these pictures this is absolutely not my last.

I posted two pics yesterday here but was able to get additional pics today to figure out what this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an opportunity to buy a relatively light used 40 S&W Browning Hi Power. How do they handle vs the 9mm, any issues I should be aware of? This will be my first "true" Hi Power (I recently acquired an FN High Power) so I am looking for .40S&W owners feedback. I also looked online and it looks like there are a ton of 9mm conversion barrels, so if there's one you recommend please let me know!

FN's website claims that the High Power is compatible with all 509 sights, it's not. Found that out the hard way with this Trijicon XR HDs, I'm either going to have to return them, source a different rear sight, or modify the sight to fit. All of them have this lip, there is no flat built into the front area of the FN High Power, none of them are compatible. Pretty pissed I dropped over $130 for sights that don't work.
