I just picked this up and did not do much looking into it before I got it. I was planning on picking up something else. I put down a nice chunk of $779. It was "like new" and I am happy with it. These just feel so darn good in the hand. I have yet to shoot it but I will very soon. 1.gif
 
that is sweet... looks like a practial model , really like the hard chrome but not so much the gold trigger .. sweet still the same ,...really nice h2o
 
A most excellent pistol. JMB's final triumph, (with help from a Frenchman) Issue pistol for more armys and police forces than any other pistol in the world. Not only that but it looks good and feels better in the hand.
You paid market price for a superb pistol. don't ever part with it.
Here's mine in .40 S&W:

Hey thanks! You know I was not super excited about that trigger at first either. I almost did not buy it actually partly due to that. I am glad I changed my mind and the trigger is growing on me a bit. It is by far my most flashy gun. It came with another new gold trigger and I assume to be the stock silver one too. It clearly had some trigger work done on it because it has a super nice pretty light trigger pull. One of the main complaints about these guns from what I have read so far is hard triggers. Yeah I cycle through guns sometimes but I have no doubt this one will go to my son or daughter.
 
velocette: A most excellent pistol. JMB's final triumph, (with help from a Frenchman)...

JMB died several years before the Hi Power was finished. It would be more accurate to say he began the design, but MUCH credit has to go to Dieudonne Saive (a Belgian, not French) who completed the design. JMB's early Hi Power was one UGLY looking pistol, thank goodness Saive rescued it.
 
Hello. I hope that your Hi Power serves you well. Been shooting them for four decades now and it continues to serve as my favorite 9mm pistol.

Best.
