Is $800 too much money for a Brand New .40 Hi Power?

$1 is too much.

The 40 version doesn't get much respect here - durability problems, shootability problems, better alternatives available... etc.

I got a FN Hi-Power SFS in .40 S&W a few years back. I believe I paid $450 for it shipped, I thought the price eas too good to pass. I'd still like one in 9mm though.

It is awesome and SO VERY Accurate. I find the grip a little thicker than I'd like, but I believe all Hi-powers would be this way. Some slimmer grips might help. Truth this gun is so pretty with a nice shiny finish I don't shoot her much.

I have also heard that .40 Hi Powers where accurate shooters and dead nuts reliable. They just have the typical crappy hi power trigger. Also with the .40 you can do a barrel conversion to 9mm and have two guns in one! Plus I think the Hi power happens to be dead sexy. So is 800 bones to much for a new Browning .40? They list for $1,075.00 or so on brownings web site.

Your post contradicts everything I have ever heard or read about Brownings Hi Power.

Aren't the 9mm HP's "supposed" to be a pretty decent pistol? I've not heard a lot of good things about the .40's though. FWIW

Not really sure... I guess you have to check current prices. I'm a bargain hunter. I don't think I'd pay that much for one, then again I also don't own a HK or Sig because I think they are too pricey.

OK, I do own one HK, but that's because I wanted a MK23 (SOCOM) and was willing to pay for one, and even that was at a good price (relatively speaking).
