Thread: Browning Hi Power

  1. #1

    Browning Hi Power

    Stopped in a shop yesterday with zero expectations. I found this in the case, a rare bird in Massachusetts due to our “consumer protection” handgun restrictions. It’s a T series to boot! Grabbed it for a good price.

    These have always been a favorite of mine, despite the less than perfect safety and trigger. Somewhat surprisingly, in an IWB leather holster it feels more comfortable and conceals better than a G19.

    I need to find some preban magazines for it, and will probably remove the magazine safety. Other than that, I will enjoy this one as is.

    Beautiful. I love my MKIII. Not just for nostalgic reasons... it’s a great shooting gun.

    A clean solid example of a classic fighting gun.

    With BHP mags, how do you tell pre-ban from post-ban?

    Do they have to be in MA already, or can non-ban-marked standard caps still be imported?

    Herrett's.

    Starrett makes nice stuff, too (headquartered in Athol, MA), but I'm not aware of them making handgun stocks.

    We can import. Non ban marked standard caps are ok. Mainly need to avoid obviously new stuff or things that weren’t around pre 94.

    Haha. That’s what I meant. There’s a street near me called Sterrett. Early onset dementia.

    Either way... they look and feel awesome. Thanks.

    Ok. Where in Mass did you find that beauty? Collectors in Stoneham?
