very cool

 

Very nice! You’ll love a Hi Power. Looking forward to seeing what else you end up getting!

 

I can relate. My gun money is finite so I've focused on my first love, Colt. I have an affinity for the pre 70 series commercial 1911 and Pythons. Except for my WC Supergrade I've sold or traded everything else to pursue nice examples.

 

I hear ya! 15 guns so far this year and 9 of them 1911’s!!

 

So as fate would have it, I couldn't pass up a good deal on a Hi-Power -- so it will be joining the collection soon. It got me thinking, though, to back when I got into shooting. I remember seeing Hi-Powers listed on CDNN but I never really had the need for one. So just for fun I poked around on my computer and found an old catalog from 2004 (back when you had to wait for them to release the quarterly catalog!) and I found this:

Wouldn't it be nice to [ay $450 for an FN Hi-Power today!! 😄

 

Those were the days.....

 

I added Nr 4 to my collection to: a Browning Hi-Power. It's a 1990 vintage and it’s practically flawless! I’ll get it out back tomorrow for a trial.

So here’s my latest JMB Pistol family photo!

 

Love the family portrait! Looking forward to your assessment of the Hi Power. I love them.
