I've always kinda liked the Browning Hi-Power. Never really knew why or thought much about it until now. Now, I'm getting ready to buy one. Now the problems start to surface...
The Browning website shows two models: The Standard and Mk. III (9mm and .40). Both blued. The local Bass Pro Shops had one in stainless (at a price pushing $800!), which wasn't on the Browning website.
Then I called a local gunstore (my preferred venue for purchase). Seems that FN makes Hi-Powers, and so does Charles Daly! Choices, choices.
Today, a quick blast through Bass Pro put a Charles Daly Hi-Power in 9mm in my hand, for $349! That's at Bass Pro!!
Here's my question: What are the differences between Browning, FN, and Charles Daly Hi-Powers, and why is the Charles Daly so inexpensive?
Thanks, guys!
