Oh wow. that FN competition model is a beaut! i'd love to find one of those to give a whirl. as far as the buying a second hi power to tinker with... not a bad idea at all. i may just have to start hunting for a parkerized one to fart around with. as for rcjohnson's post... hahaha. that one made...

Thanks for the advice. I picked up 2 boxes of the cheapest stuff I could find, Magtech, to waste at the range tomorrow. Results to follow.

If i ever see the original owner again, I'll be sure to ask him about the history of this gun. I first saw him when picking up a rifle. While waiting for the OK, I started looking at the hi-powers in the case. He stepped up and told me that if i wanted one, this would be the one to buy, as he...
