Springfield Armory and Hi-Power?

[AngryRooster]

Very interesting. I've never shot a Hi Power, or even handled one. I'd love to give one a try. I've been very happy with my SA 1911s...would be cool to pick up a HP to go with them.

Back in the day I had a full size and detective size FM. They were the most natural pointers and shooters I've ever owned. I'd love to have the detective version back.
I'm content with my Glock 43X but that chunk of steel was awesome.

I don't see the value in just replicating what Browning/FN had already done. HP's aren't rare, there's millions of them, you can just buy an original?

Since FN discontinued them i want to safe queen any Belgium made guns i come across and shoot the clones. As for being "millions" of them out there.. I cant tell with the prices people are already asking for FN made guns now especially the Practical models to a price point i wouldn't wanna run it as a daily shooter or suppressor host. That's just me though.

So what you are saying is a Belgium made one would be worth holding on to? One has been residing in our safe for about 6 years.

I mean if it were mine I would hold onto it. FN isn't making anymore as far as I know.

Came across it by chance I believe it’s a late 60‘s era production date if I recall. From what I can tell it’s mostly original.

That sounds nice, being a 60's model does the serial prefix have a "C" in it? Those are more desired than the "T" series guns which if I recall correctly I believe are from the 70's. But both are coveted by HP collectors.

 

[MrSmitty]

It would be awesome if SA starts making hi-powers, especially if they had several different “levels”. I would like a repro of an original, but it would also be neat to have a modernized hi-power too.

I believe that would be a CZ-75........lol

Haha, yea that’s a fair point. I used to have a CZ-75 “pre-b” and loved it.

 

[Noble Sniper]

If they’d make a nice one I’d HAVE to have one…..

All these years later, folks still discussing the genius of John Moses Browning.

I used to have a pre B as well, great gun that I really wish I held onto and hope to find another nice one someday.

Hopefully they drop the mag disconnect… and make the trigger not suck worse than… well sucky stuff….

Well I was going to say something but I am going to politely abstain.

other than that I will continue to rely on my 1911

 

[Dewidmt]

Better sights, ambi safety, drop the mag disconnect, alloy frame. They'd sell a million of em'.

 

[Bill2905]

I keep thinking about all the years I had an opportunity to own a Hi-Power but instead, chose to own other inferior guns, most of which have since gone by the wayside. If this rumor comes to fruition, I will be highly interested in one.

 

[Expat]

I have two BHPs, one pretty old and another of the newer ones. Then a FEG. I have been wanting handle one of the Tisas that came out, but haven't seen one yet.

The November cover for Recoil magazine was on their Instagram with a picture of a HP redacted. You can see the top of the slide though and it does looks like it has Novak type sights and it looks like a small ring 'commander' type hammer like C&S sells.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

They talk about a 'reveal' day but i'm not sure when that is.

Drill, it is Monday.

Yeah I saw that pop up on another forum, thanks.

 

[Noble Sniper]

I love it… and at $700 a deal!!!
