I see that for about $40 more, my dreams of buying a semi-auto with big honking adjustables can come true. My vision just isn't that great, and I'm thinking "the bigger, the better" for fast sight pick-up. I sure love target sights on all my other pistols.

My question is, are there any issues with these sights on the Browning? Any durability problems? Any other concerns I should consider? I'm wondering if it would affect finding a holster ... but then again I'm not too worried, as I usually end up using some form of generic cordura anyway (being thrifty and all).

Also, how accurate are these Adj. Sighted Hi-Powers?

I used these signts since I bought my BHP Silver Chrome in 1994. No problems. I believe the factory installed sights are made by Millet, at least on the MkIII's.

Thanks Pilot, just the kind of feedback I was hoping for.

How accurate is your HP? Any easier to wring the accuracy out of it because of the adjustables?

Wish they were still making the silver/chrome WITH the adjustables.

Thanks!

The BHP is very accurate with the adjustable sights. Although the fixed sights are usually well regulated. But, with the adjustables you can at least dial in the POI for different loads. Great for the range and if you reload using different bullet weights/powders, etc. If this is not a concern, then the fixed sights are fine.

I think they are still making the BHP Silver Chrome with adjustables. If not, I still see them for sale N.I.B. from time to time. Great pistol.

Yep, I do reload 9mm and really appreciate the flexibility of adjustables.

The adj rear sight is a Millet and it's a pretty good one. The SOB front sight has a habit of fracturing at the base and flying downrange, but never a problem with the rear sight.

[The Mighty Beagle]

That's certainly no good ... thanks Bounty

I had a Browning Silver Chrome and didn't care for the sights. They were all black, so they were difficult to see against a black target. They were also big and clunky with a lot of sharp edges to snag clothing on the draw.

I sold that pistol and bought a 9mm HP, then had Don Williams of The Action Works install a set of MMC adjustable sights. They are very easy to see, come in a variety of patterns both white and in night sights with colored dots, bars or combinations of both. I am very happy with the results (although the total cost is significantly more than $40).

I personally like the stock MKIII sights, or TriJicons or Novaks.

I have heard lots of good things about The Action Works.
