    A series of rather unremarkable circumstances led me to purchase this BHP. I didn’t have one in my collection, and was looking to add just one. This one looked like the one to get. I shot it yesterday. Now I’m thinking I want more of these. This one appears to have a one-piece barrel. Does...

    Hi guys, although my forum handle is Ski Guy, my name is Lew and some of you might know me as the guy who started Strong-Side Tactical back in 2011 and sold the biz to Clayton in 2015. Anyway, I was just going through one of my gun safes and noticed this pair of collectable Browning 1885...

    $1600 I've got a 9mm hi power practical I took in on a trade a couple years ago. I've never shot it and the guy I got it from hadn't. From what I can tell it's never been fired. I can get more pictures if there's something particular you'd like to see. SN dates it to 1994 and it's a cast frame...

    So…now that my medical dilemma and bills are behind me, it’s time to start saving for a small project. I reached out to NHC because I was just curious…and requested a quote for just a couple things nothing major. I’m still emailing Bob back and forth, but for a little over $900 they can really...

    I have an amazing AMAZING opportunity to purchase a 1934 Hudson locally for a really good price, unfortunately it came up out of nowhere and recent purchases have drained my account; however, I’ve been able to scrape up enough from selling odds and ends and now I need just a little more to have...

    I bought this off GB a month or so ago. I put it on a shelf and haven't even took it down till today. When I picked it up from my FFL I was in a rush. I very briefly looked at it and filled out the paper work and left. When I got home later I took it out of the case and carefully started to...

    I sold my BHP to a fellow Addict several months ago and have regretted it ever since. Now in true Addict form, I am looking for another to replace it. I would prefer one that is a Utah import with fixed sights. Looking to send it for upgrades. I would also entertain an already customized...
  15. Collector's Corner
    Hello all, in my quest to find a 1959 (birth year) Colt, I have become distracted and taken off task. I came across a pair of Browning Hi Powers, sequential serial numbers, and the seller says they were manufactured in 1959. I asked him how he was able to determine the date, because it is my...

    At a gun show today a seller had a few BHPs in a case. There was a ‘69 C series with a price tag of $1325, said he’d take $1300. The bluing is in great shape, but it’s got typical very faint scratches on the slide, more on the high points of the slide lines, that you’d expect for a 50 year old...

    I’ve owned a good amount of BHP’s over the years. Only two of them were “custom guns", or had custom work to them. One was a fully optioned out pistol that was. build in a way that way very limited and very special... sadly, I just didn’t love it and decided to part ways with her. The other...

    Had an inquisitive mind today so I thought I’d do a little reading. Some of you may know and some my not. JMB (1911 creator) was one of 22 children born of his father Johnathan Browning who was also a gunsmith and converted to The Church of Later Day Saints (Mormon)and had three wives, or as we...

    CDNN is having a major sale on these with prices at $450 (or so) and under depending on model. I like the two tone myself, I've been coveting one of these for a few years now, might have to pull the trigger. I also have two females (wife and 21 yo daughter) and an 11 yo boy to teach and think...

The bluing is truly beautiful and I did my best to capture it in the pictures, you will not be disappointed. I don't know the round count but it doesn't appear to have...
