Thanks. The pistol shoots 2”ish groups at 25 yards. G10 grips are nearly indestructible. I thought the black & grey would look nice on the pistol. I’m going to carry this pistol and it always seems like the butt it getting dinged when I get in or out of the truck.
That park job looks great. I picked up a mkiii last year that someone mag-na- ported and did other things to it. Somehow got the trigger down to around 3 pounds. Not sure how. Once I got it to the range found out it was unsafe to shoot. Bad hammer follow and slam fires. Kinda like yours. It's at mk3 custom out in Vegas. Can't wait to get it back.The hard chrome is nice, and if I were to carry one, Id definitely consider having it done. My MKIII's finish was more of a park "wash", and was wearing off just by handling and shooting it. I gave it a proper park job not long after I got it, and its held up well. I took the mag safety out because I wanted the mags to drop free. The trigger was fine, before and after, although I don't know what its weight actually is. Really like this version of the HP, but hate the ambi safety. Keep threatening to replace it, but at this point, Im not going tobother.
Picked this one up a couple of years back. Was in good shape, but I found out that somebody "improved" its trigger the first time I shot it as it put the first round I dropped the slide on into the ground about 6' in front of me. Thought hmmm, that's weird, but of course, I went right ahead and pulled the trigger again, and got a 4 or 5 round "burst" out of it that time. That was it for that range outing. Ended up putting a factory sear and sear spring in the gun and its been fine ever since. Took the mag safety out of it too, and and for the same reason, and its trigger feels about the same as the other one.
Thanks

That's what I found on my Hi-Power Mk.II when I first got it. Even with the mag safety still in place, the trigger was clean and crisp at 5.4 lbs. Much better than a lot of older Hi-Powers that I had tried. Like the hard chrome finish too.
Thank you.

Nice, nice pistol. It was the top of the HP35 in the nineties and first decade of the 2000. The gold plated trigger is there to indicate it was the top. These pistols were also marketed in Italy as "Browning". There were a two tone model with fixed sights and this one. I can't remember how they call them as variants but I can find the information. Maybe Combat and Target.
I have a '95 MkIII that looks just like that, same sights and gold trigger. Mine is .40S&W, though. It came with wrap-around Pachmayrs that had the Browning logo button, but I put a set of Hogue cocobolo grips on it, looks and feels much better. Browning called that model "Silver Chrome". Have you left the magazine disconnect in it? I removed mine and the trigger improved, hardly any creep, just a short take-up like a 2-stage rifle trigger. Once the disconnect is gone, you don't need the mousetrap style magazines to make the magazine eject. Without the disconnect, the mousetrap spring really launches the mag when it is released. Regular Mec-gar magazines will work fine.
