The Browning HiPower had a good reputation as a handgun. Why did they stop using it?

Australian Military used it, the SASR often did, and many other countries.




Ancient expensive production technology. Worn out tooling. Single Action-only. Controls/manual or arms out of fashion. Glock popularized the radical new approach to gun making introduced by H&K w/ their VP70 & VP70Z and case closed.

your high power with shoulder stock is a short barrel rifle so must be legal!

dont know if any high power have the notch for the shoulder stock, pre war FN and canadian Inglis have it. a repro C 96 shoulder stock should fit.




Actually, for grouse that's right. It could be used AFAIK. But alas...still not technically for turkey...

Most HP's did not have the stock slot. Some early production did. The Inglis guns did and later some of the later Capitan versions did. I'm not sure if the "bayonet" lug attachment is the same? My stock was actually a Canadian military stock made for the Inglis guns. It was a very tight fit at first. I no longer have it. The 500 meter elevation adjustable front sight was rather optimistic, that's for sure!
