Hello. I have little doubt that the warmer loads, be they +P or +P+ will cause more wear per shot than ammunition loaded to lower pressure levels. That said, I've shot several thousand rounds of both +P and +P+ through my (cast frame ) Mk III Hi Powers with no problems. I use an 18.5-lb recoil sprin...

Hello. I just completed another shooting session with the FNX9 for those who might be interested:

Hello. I recently tried out two different FNX9 9mm pistols. FNX is the successor to Fabrique National's FNP-handgun series. This polymer-framed, double-action semiautomatic sports frame-mounted, ambidextrous thumb safety levers, which double as decockers, and the pistol does permit Condition One (&q...

Hello. I recently purchased a NIB SIG-Sauer P220 .45 ACP pistol. This one sports an accessory rail (something I could live without), and has the milled slide rather than the folded version with a pinned-in breech block. It also has the external extractor. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/hipowe...

Hello. I am frequently asked about FEG-manufactured Hi Power "clones". My experience with these pistols is limited. I have seen a couple that were sold under the Mauser name, but they were actually manufactured by FEG, just as Browning Hi Powers are manufactured by FN. These pistols sporte...

Hello. I took my Pre-B CZ-75 w/Kadet upper back out to the range today, but also brought the pistol's original 9mm slide assembly and magazine. After shooting the compartatively inexpensive .22's for a while, I fired a 20-shot group (two magazines-full) at 15 yards. I then replaced the Kadet and .22...

Hello. The first handgun I purchased as an adult was an Star Model B in the early '70's. If memory serves, the tariff was about $75.00 or so. I foolishly let that one get away but toward the end of the following decade I was able to buy another Model B from the last production run announced by the m...

Hello. Since the original post was written a while back, I've continued to use the Kadet conversion on a fairly regular basis with today being the latest session. The pistol is in about the same form as when I did the original post. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/hipowersandhandguns/Hipowersa...

Hello. Like the majority here, I try to get to the range on a frequent basis. Some shooters are dedicated to a set regimen using a specific handgun or perhaps two while other folks shoot a wider variety of handguns. In years past, I primarily shot a 9mm Hi Power but when I became a police officer wo...

Hello. Voted on the second day of early voting.

Hello. I recently was able to shoot a borrowed 40-caliber Hi Power Standard Model that came with adjustable sights. The pistol was stock. Its owner had made no changes to it in any form or fashion. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y171/hipowersandhandguns/Hipowersandhandguns2/BHP40StdSport001.jpg Th...

Hello. Use it all you like.

Best to you and yours.

Hello. As far as I am concerned, this is just another example of the HOA "Half-Penny Hitler" mentality and why I consider HOA's beneath contempt. Before their apologists say, "Well, don't buy a house in one if you feel that way," let me say that I never will again, but I didn't e...

Hello. No, sir. In that instance, the pistol was a Colt Commander .45 ACP. (I am not sure which of us was the most surprised!)

Best to you and yours.

Hello. It weighs 32 oz. empty or very close depending on grips. How much it weighs fully-loaded would depend upon the particular load. Fourteen 124-gr. factory Remington 9mm cartridges weigh right at 6 oz. so that would bring the loaded (13 +1) weight to about 38 oz. An empty 1911-pattern pistol wei...
