Mk 3 Hi Powers
« on: August 30, 2005, 11:31:23 AM »
i'm thinking i'd like a Browning Hi Power. whats the consensus on the Mk 3? is it worth the money or should i just keep saving and buy myself a WW2 production Inglis No.2 Mk 1*?

Mk 3 Hi Powers

kevin.303 - get a new one.  Gun Tests magazine ran a comparison twixt a new Browning made High Power, a Mk3 assembled in Argentina with Browning made parts and a Inglis WWII P-35.  The new Mk3 took the honors.  The Browning made pistol jammed and had a terrible trigger.  The Inglis was just worn out.  

Their findings are the same as mine with the two Argentine 'put-togethers' I have owned and shot.  Each was one hunmdred percent reliable, functioned on a variety of ammo and shot to point of aim.  

I like the High-Power - it is a well made handgun that I can hold well and that balances well in my hand.  It is the only double stack pistol that I can carry and shoot comfortably and accurately.  

While you're at it get a bunch of extra magazines - always nice to have a few more round on hand.  HTH.  Mikey.

8) Another good choice is one of the CZ look-a-likes.  Most of the CZs I have experience with are tough as a Marine, function and feed well and have good trigers.
