    Yes. Master Distributor for WC. Note, they are on back order for months. Very popular.

    FWIW according to Brownings own website; the Hi Power is now out of production and discontinued.

    I wanted one bad at one point but it just isn't compatible with my larger longer hand

    ETA Its weird, I can shoot smaller guns with a tang no problem, but the HP and I just don't, as they say, gee-haw

    Yeah doesn’t surprise me. I could see ditching just about all my other pistols save a few I really like, and just getting an EDC X9 with a rail to be “the gun” for pretty much all my carry and probably 95% of my handgun shooting.

    I may do that, have to figure some things out with what will go and what will stay. See if it’s feasible. Good to know you’re a WC dealer.

    Funny you mention that.i have the same problem. Grip seems ok, a little on the thin side. If I really concentrate on each shot I can get pretty good groupings. Otherwise it's like buckshot at 50 yards

    Yep.

    And if it has a spur handle, fuggedaboutit.

    We can toss up all the WWII British paratrooper, Vietnam LRRP, African Bush War, and 80s SWAT pics all day but me and HPs dont mix.
    Which is sad as they are pretty as can be.

    Spur hammers don't bother me

    I have a surplus Israeli FN HiPower MKII for all the reasons you just listed. If I didn't already have one I wouldn't be getting one now.

    Not my picture but it looks exactly like this
