Browning Hi-Power Practical. WWYD?

[fvf]

When I mentioned aluminium frames I was referring to the other pistols like the Beretta et al not the HP which is all steel. That is why I said they are so slim in profile.

That's a great price, nab it!

I'm still deciding. I gotta drive 80 miles to that store. With $3 a gallon..

Go out to dinner one less time this month.

At 20 miles per gallon a 160 mile round trip will cost you 24 bucks in gas at 3.00 a gallon. That's a price of $605.00 delivered to you door. Buy it, that's a great price.

Any hammer bite with these?

I'm in L.A., saw the same ad.

 

[gudel]

You people sure are bad influence
I usually lay off gun boards after buying a new gun, so I Don't want to buy another next one so soon!

 

[Marshall]

Depepnds on your hands and grip. I've never been biten and I have large hands, not extra large, just large.

My .40 Practical doesn't bite me at all, fwiw..

And this is for spur hammers, but it is good to know about for anyone who does get bit by those hammers.. http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/HiPowerandHammerBite.htm

So I drove an hour and a half to Turner's Reseda. Got $650 cash ready to drop. Guess what? They're out!
I asked the guy, if he can get me one like that so I'll buy it today. The ad isn't over until tomorrow anyway. He said we can order one but it won't be the same price. Needless to say, they didn't get my business, going to local shop tomorrow to get myself a Glock.
It was a waste of time. I'm ticked off they don't honor the advertised price, after all that driving.

I went to Turner's Reseda on the 15th and they were already out of the Hi-Power Practical. However, they told me they would find one at another one of their stores or order one from Browning at the sale price. They ended up finding one from another Turners and I will be back to pick it up next week.

Was a decent price, I think I was quoted about the same price in 1996 for that exact model or one real similar. I'll pick up a 9mm BHP eventually though for some strange reason I want the FEG and Argentine clones too.

Watch out for those things; they mutate.

Dude, that sucks! Maybe you should have called first to verify? Did you get your Glock?
