FEG Hi-Power 9mm (questions/clarifications)

[CajunBass]

BTW. did you know FEG wooden grips are made from Birchwood and not walnut?

No idea, but thanks for the information.

All I knew was they looked a lot better than goodyears.

There's a lot of good information in this thread. Thanks for kicking it back to the top whoever did.

I picked up this PJK-9HP, a K.B.I. import, a few weeks ago. I haven't had much chance to shoot it, just a magazine full of mixed ammo out back of the hog pen, but it seems to work fine and hits where I point it if I point it where I want it to hit. While it's not as pretty as a Browning HP, it's a long way from ugly. Couple of small scratches and dings, but doesn't appear to have been dropped or kicked around too much.





The magazine disconnect is still intact. It really doesn't seem to be a big deal to me. The trigger has a bit of takeup, but after that breaks nicely Not something I can't live with. I didn't have a problem with hammer bite in the very limited shooting I did, but it's something I'll be aware of in the future. The safety is too small and stiff, but not worth changing out for what I'll use the gun for.

I probably paid "too much" for it ($350.00) but compared to Browning's going for 800-1,000.00, I figured it would scratch the itch I've had for a Hi-Power for years.

NICE pistol Cajun

CajunBass $350 isn't too much for what you got.
Some really beat up examples go for that much on GunBroker.

Better in my opinion.

On mine they appear pretty clearly to be Oak. I think FEG went budget on the wood selection, using whatever was convenient.

So, I'll ask it again:

I purchased one of the Cole Distributing FN-marked FEG Hi Powers back in late September. (Cole is half an hour's drive from where I live)

In comparing it to my Mark IIIS/SFS FN Hi Power, it seemed to me that it would be fairly simple to have it modified to add a firing pin block. Is this so?

Thanks.
