Why, the Hi-Power of course! I couldn't help myself. I figured at that price I could shoot the bubblegum out of it instead of babying it like I do the two I have now. In fact, one of the two I have now has a serial # that dates it to 1986 and is still unfired in the original box. The one I just bought from Bud's should help ease the urge I have to shoot the 1986 piece.
 
Hello I am not that familiar with the fn browning high power. What's the original price on it?
I'm not familiar with it either but at the start of the thread I looked into it and it seems to have an average everyday price of around $1000.
I'm sure it's an awesome gun, it's just not my thing. Odd harder to find ammo calibers just mean it's more expensive to shoot and likely to become a safe queen.
 
If you guys are ever in Lexington, KY check out buds gun shop. They have a great store and sweet range, also a reactive steel target range.

It's the one thing I miss about Kentucky.
Well and Raising Kanes chicken, that place is the ish
 
I went and picked mine up from my FFL yesterday afternoon. That was some very quick shipping and I am impressed with that.

The serial # dates mine to a 1994 manufacture.

Initial impressions were that it was indeed not going to win any beauty contests. However, the internals appear very clean and operational. I finally have an FNH Browning Hi-Power (this is my third) that I can literally do anything I want to it and not feel bad or remorseful. I will shoot the heck out of this gun and I've no doubt that if it's like my other BHP's it will be a tack driver (range report will be next). That said, I will probably begin by removing the magazine disconnect and replacing the grips. The grips seem to be the worst for wear of anything on the specimen I received. The finish on the frame and slide is worn, scratched and missing in places but no apparent pitting so refinishing is an option although I doubt I'll go that far. The barrel looks great with strong rifling present and little wear both inside and out. It would appear there is a lot of functional life left in this otherwise beat up looking gun. I would buy it again if I had the choice to make again. I would also recommend to anyone that wants to get into the entry level BHP game.

Now I'll see if I can load some pics. Might have to wait until I get hme for that but I'll try anyway.

I think the holsters in Israel are made of barbed wire.

It would be a great candidate for cerakote or something of that nature. Me... I'm just gonna put some comfy pachmeyers on there and shoot it!

I was thinking the same thing. There is nothing to lose by refinishing it.

Hell, if done right, it could double it's value.
