My first firearm purchase more than 20 years ago was my Mk III in the upper left hand corner. Over the years I have acquired a few more High Powers and High Power "Inspired" pistol oddities.

The left fn hp mkii is a dog of war. Most likely a battle field recovery in horrible condition when I got it but still useable. The browning mkiii on the right has novak sights, c & s hammer and black t finish, it's highly reliable and easy to make 100 yard shots with. Both Israeli surplus.

On the top is my alloy fn hp. Also with novaks and black t finish. The weight of a g22 but with a great trigger. It serves my daughter now.

Just received my High Power yesterday from Gun Broker. Hopefully I'll get to the range today. I received it with the wood grips, and installed the Black VZ Diamond Slim Grips and removed the magazine disconnect. That brought the trigger pull from 7.1 lbs. average to a 5 lbs. average with the stock parts. It's a 1994 manufacture MK3. I have spring upgrade kits coming from BH Spring Solutions. I don't think it's had a full magazine put through it. The finish is factory Hard Chrome and yes it came with the Gold Trigger. I think it adds a bit of class.

After lusting over the Hi Power since I was a teen in the early-mid 80's, I finally bought one.

Stopped by an LGS this afternoon after a wasted trip to the gun show ($1/round 9mm ammo and guns at true market value +50%) and saw this gem under the glass.

The guy claimed that it belonged to the shop's owner (who recently pulled several personal guns out of his safe to put up for sale), and was unfired. The wear, or lack thereof, on the frame rails, etc. leads me to believe it's true...although it's obviously been gone over as the magazine disconnect is gone and it has a nice, smooth 3 lb. trigger. Not knowing anything about the HP's, I came home and began my internet education...and after reading about the "click test", I was happy to find that it passed.

Price was $399...my only gauge was the HP's I saw at the show and a few at other LGS's. The cheapest Browning was a rough example that appeared to have been spray painted silver over the bluing for $850, and an FEG at another shop that was well used for $375.

I don't plan to do any work to it, as it won't be a carry gun...it'll be just for those times when I want to put the plastic striker guns down for a minute and remember what wood and blue steel feel like.

I received my Hi Power Slide from Novak's today. I had them cut the sight dovetails for their sights, then bead blast and blue. They did a fantastic job. I added the strong side only Cylinder and Slide Safety and Hogue Pau Ferro grip panels. I'm very pleased with the pistol. Classy and Retro with the two tone finish.

BHC is a great movie! But seeing that photo is the first time I've noticed that Eddie Murphy must not know much about his pistol. The hammer is down, which is good since his his thumb would get severely lacerated if the gun went off. The trigger finger is pretty much to be expected. It actually serves as a decent training poster for what not to do.

Eddie Murphy has some of the worst gun handling in Hollywood. I remember a movie (Metro?), where he’s chasing baddies with his finger on the trigger and held to the rear. :(.

This got traded into the shop earlier today for pretty cheap.
Snagged it after a quick glance at it because it reminded me of the FN HiPower I captured on day one of the invasion of Iraq and carried along all the way to Baghdad before getting hit and medevaced...

We were pretty slammed today so I didn't look at it too closely ( yeah, shop bought it that cheap...) I didn't see all the Nazi proof marks until I got it home tonight and started looking it over... I chalking this one up as a big win...
