Do we have a Hi-Power Club?

An FEG PJK-9HP and a silver chrome BHP in .40 S&W. Looking for another in 9mm.

I love going back through this thread from time to time just looking at all the pictures. Great stuff!

I don't know if you guys know or not, but there's a new Hi Power forum out there. www.hipowertalk.com It's a nice place, they just need more people!

Now why'd you have to go and tell me that?!?

Because the one thing addicts want is someone else to share the addiction with.

True enough!

Now I have another forum to play on

Cool, I saw a lot of names from Hunter's old Hi Power forum!

How do I Jion

I just bought my first Hi-Power over the weekend. It feels really nice and I am starting to fall in love with it. At first I hated the looks, but after much handling I like the shape now. Anyway, I've gotten some great links to information on Hi-Power and do not belong to any club and so I am thinking I'd like to jion this one. What's it about and how do I sign up. lol

I never really thought much of the Hi Power until about a month ago when I shot a buddies. The next day I was in my local gunstore and there was one in very good condition in the used gun display. I took it to their indoor range and put a full magazine of 147gr. JHP's through it and pulled out the plastic. I have made some changes to make it more to my liking. I replaced the trigger, hammer, sear, hammer spring and thumb safety with parts from Cylinder & Slide. C&S also had a nice set of wood grips that I bought as well. It is extremely accurate and a fun gun to shoot. It is a 1977 model per the S/N.

Now if I were going to carry a BHP.....the Detective would be my gun. That is one sharp looking pistol.

My only HP. Not my favourite pistol, but I still love it

I've seen some in this thread, how do you guys like the Hogue wraparound grips? I want to get either those or the "Pachmayr Signature Grips".

The pistol feels a little small in my hands, so I'd be interested to know how they compare to the original ones in size.

I'm all in! I chose a BHP as the basis to build my "Favorite Custom Combat Handgun". It's began as a deep-blue .40 S&W Mk.III and now features; professionally installed C&S forged hammer/sear, 1911-style ambi safety, reduced-effort transfer bar, target trigger, Pachmyer extended slide release, Navidrex (slim) checkered Micarta grips, and a custom-build KKM .357 Sig conversion barrel by Kevin McIntyre. Whew...what a shooter!
Only thing left to do is install MMC adjustable night-sights & maybe a stipple job on the front/rear straps.

Please add me to the roll.
Got my MKIII a few months ago. It is now competing with the CZ75 to see who I shoot the best. So far, the HP has the better grip, safety and sights.

I have jonsed for one of these for years!

I love the look and feel of the wood grips. But the frame is a bit too small for my hand. So i throw on some of the rubber grips. They fit great on the frame and also make the grip a tad bigger which made it feel better in my hand. I will post a pic later

I would like to jon the club. I recently purchsed a CD H-Power and am tickeled to death.

Usually when I put Pachmayrs on my 1911's, I cut the center portion off of them as they feel too thick and bulky for my hand. But with my HP, I decided to leave it on; it actually felt better having them completely enclose the entire grip. Try it; I think you'll like it.

Club me please!!

Just picked up my first HP today, a 1994 Browning. It has full wrap Pachmayrs that will have to go - sorry bannockburn - and I'll be ditching the ambi safety too.

This thing is beautiful!

Count me in...

Here's my custom HP....



Here's my WW2 Nazi proofed FN....

Took a couple photos of my NTM (new to me) 1994 BHP. It came with one 13-round magazine and Pachmayr Signature Model grips.

I ran 45 rounds of 115gr FMJ reloads from Kings Gun Works and 15 rounds of Speer 124gr(+P) GDHP through the BHP today with nary a hiccup.

Felt recoil was minimal and I can happily report that the Browning Hi-Power indeed points to aim like an extension of my arm!




I will be changing out the Pachmayr grips for Uncle Mike's black checkered rubber grips A.S.A.P. While the Pachmayr's are an excellent product, I personally do not like full coverage grips and they do not fit my hand.

I will also be adding a couple of 13 or 10-round magazines to the BHP's arsenal. I purchased this gun with the intent of carrying it concealed wherever legal and for my personal circumstances weight is a legitimate issue.

Well, add me to the list of BHP owners. I carry a Bersa 380 when I cant carry my BHP but I tell you that it shoots as well as my Bersa 380. I just love it!!
