High Power

[kpd007]

Not really military, but the anscestory is there. FN .40 High Power with the SFS system. Even though it is a .40, it is my most accurate handgun.

That is a nice modern version of the classic Browning HP. Here is my WW2 Canadian contract. Theses were made for the Chinese. I don't know if they made it to China or stayed in Canadian service . Maybe someboDy on this board know the history of these but it does have the shoulder stock cut out on the butt. Also note the high rise ladder type sight. I bought a few years ago. Now one thing about mine It is not a tack driver.

Great pics Norton. Worn, but worn right! I don't know much about high powers. Heck, I didn't even know the Chinese were into them too.:)

Well, I had this on cetmerifles, but I don't mind posting it again.
My recently purchased 1973 Browning 9mm. This pistol has seen use and abuse, and shows it. $300 cash sale, no paperwork. A good candidate for refinish--maybe black T or hard chrome--maybe not, as I like the "been there done that" look. I already have two MecGar 15-rd mags, and a KRD 17-rd mag. A MecGar 20 is on the way.
In these pics, I have already refinished the grips, which were almost completely devoid of finish, and battered looking.
The High Power fits my hand like no other pistol, and I find it carries well for CCW, as well.
Norton, I used to have an inglis, I was stupid to trade it away. There is a genuine inglis holster stock on EBAY right now...
A High Power with a 20-rd mag and a shoulder stock would be an awsome weapon!

Nice one AMD. The refinished grips look new. Good work.

Anyone know were I can get a good "cheaper" carry holster for a high power?!?! Mines a POS.

That is what you think of when someone says 'Browning High Power'
Your pistol has the old classic look that made them so desirable. I remember seeing one back in the early 70s when high cap mags were rare and thinking I want one of these someday. The one I saw back then looked just like yours.

As for holsters, I just bought a molded leather clip-on IWB made by Don Hume. I got it from www.gunnersalley.com and it cost $27 +(cheap) shipping. It fits very well, and carries better. Gunners Alley was very easy to order from, and the holster arrived very quickly.
I looked around on the web for a week for a clip on holster specifically for the High Power, and most were $45 to $95. Alot were really for the 1911, but also would "fit" the Browning. $27 for a molded leather holster is a deal.

Thanks AMD...and $27 for any leather is a steal! I paid $40 for the one I have and it's ok but I want one that doesn't "flap" around so much. I'm off to gunner alley now thanks again!:coolgun:
