Shame to see an early High-Power melted down in the name of political correctness. The disarmists are much like the Taliban in destroying historical artefacts.

I wonder if the grips went home with anyone. It would only take a screwdriver and 30 seconds. No serial numbers on the grips.

What a waste.

Always liked the Hi-Powers

Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol.

I was wondering if anyone checked to see if it had been converted to fire full-auto? That might be a good reason for someone to trade it in.

Cops got the best dope and guns

I bet some cop or politician got themselves a nice gun.

How much you wanna bet that pistol is in some cop’s private stash right now? Nobody’s going to melt that beauty down

I have owned several Browning Hi-Powers. My first good quality gun was a Browning I bought in 1969. The finish was absolutely gorgeous tho I wish FN had kept the internal extractor.

I wish I had kept it along with an Inglis which I have read is considered one of the best despite a mediocre external finish.

I still have two Argentine Brownings and functionally they appear to be the full equal of the Belgian made ones. I only paid $189 for one of them brand new. I replaced the Argentine made rubber grips with Hogue rubber grips and they feel just about perfect in my hand.

I don’t think their accuracy is intrinsically any better than most others but I have always been able to hit with them.
