me and my step dad got a great model of a browning, but the grips for it just felt too weird for it, my hand really slipped a lot with it. If i could add a personal note; if you have smaller hands, I'd recommend different, rounder grips for more control
The Browning hi power is the best pistol ever built, Complete steel construction, in production for 75 years, used for police and military forces across the world in over 90 countries and still active, many clones out there im talking about the made in Belgium quality. The HP was who introduced the double stack magazines in the world.
You feel the quality of this weapon just holding it.
Oh yeah, the trigger pull is much sweeter with the mag disconnect removed. I have used several types of hollow tips, but rely on golden sabres, it seems that they have more of a rounded edge to them, less prone to jamming
Ok, first of all, a 9mm golden sabre will expand to .60 cal. Plenty to get the job done. Also, many of us american citizens would consider canada as "americas hat", but most of them don't realize the history of canadas military contrfibutions. the boys on the ground are the boys on the ground. Props. I own a hi power, and have had nothing but great reliability and accuracy from it. A wonderful gun. Also hogue and pachymar make great grips for it

I am going to shoot my Grandpa's Browning 9mm tomorrow afternoon. He got his ahnds on it in WW2. An American gun maker with French writing on the slide, made in Belgium, with a German Nazi Eagle stamped on the slide and just above the grip on the body. Should be interesting.
Former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi had a gold-plated Browning Hi-Power gun in his possession when he was captured and killed. Pictures of a rebel holding the golden gun circulated around the world after his death.
Very good displace and general over all history of the Browning Hi Power pistol! And they are a rock solid guns and well documented history from around the world. Too bad our military doesn't have as standard issue like some of the NATO countries, do? I'd love to see the stainless steels version of the same gun with adjustible sights! A true classic & still awesome! . . .
The takedown looks like a cross between a M1911 and a M92 mostly due the guide rod system I guess. You don't have to mess with a barrel bushing (unlike the 1911), but you do have to remove the slide stop lever (like the 1911).
a beginner to firearms question: what is best fixed or adjustable sights?, and what are the diffrences of a fixed and adjustable sight other then the fixed not being able to move and vice verse?
lol the French are dicks XD. "MAKE US THE MOST AMAZING HAND GUN OF THIS TIME PERIOD!!! ALSO WE WANT IT TO KILL A MAN AT 50M AND IT NEEDS TO HOLD 10ROUNDS WITH A DETACHABLE MAGAZINE!!!! YOU PROBABLY WON'T LIVE THROUGH THE DESIGNING." -Browning's predecessor introduces the design to the French- "nah we don't want it."
@maxrocks19 Huh, didn't think they used 2 different varieties. I'd imagine (that with our famous budget, haha) that the DND would just keep things simple and go with 1 version. Then again, it's mighty odd how we got a rejected truck (LSVW) into the system...
@bluecollarcanuck well heres the problem, we stuck with the risiduals of the liberal govs half ass job and harpers extreme budget makeover and it can cause a lot of confusion
@maxrocks19 Hah! Well said, and agreed. A recipe for disaster all around. Still, kudos to the troopies for getting the job done, and accomplishing anything with almost nothing.
Great video. I have always heard good things about this firearm, and have been thinking about getting one myself. this video has pretty much sold me on this gun. I'm going to go see if I can find me a Mark I.
Did this pistol have trouble cycling any specific ammo types? I've heard the military HPs can only really shoot FMJ. I'd also note the disconnect is a pain in the butt, but in the past it has saved cops from getting shot with their own gun.
@John234pwns The Two Browning Hi Powers I have (Belgian one from 1963 and a Hungarian one from the 90's) did not have any trouble when I fed them hollow points. My Belgian one had the mag disconnect taken out when I bought it, and the trigger pull is quite improved with it removed. Plus the mags out a lot easier.
@crimson1667 The CZ 75 is far from being copy. They differ mechanically. The CZ 75 has a slide that rides inside the frame, rather then outside like the Browning HI Power.
@KEVINMEJIA15 The internal mechanism differs. The CZ 75 has a slide that rides inside the frame, where the Browning Hi Power ride outside on the frame.
@MrTuber4000 Oops I guess I struck a nerve. You got pretty heated from just four words. I'm just curious why you went back to read comments from eight months ago.
@TheLateBoyScout dear sir i just bought a arsmcoe 1911 9mm 9+1 round pistol its all i can afford now thats for a thing but now i realy feel bad because all of the people i know say as always why i buy 9mm while 45 is the best man stopping gun now i realy felt so bad about my gun making me think that i just waste the money i realy felt bad about this is realy 9mm a weak bullet? did i make a big mistake about buying the gun? thank u so much i will be waiting for ur reply..
Just 2 cents here: you should have had a Fairburn-Sykes rather than a Cold Steel tanto blade. Btw, underload your mags a coupleof rounds if you store them loaded. Just an old military habit...WELL DONE.
@cheyenne92646 Bingo on the short loading. I left a full mag for a long time, and when I fired the weapon, the first round jammed in the breech. All my mags are now short loaded, unless I'm out and concealed.
I tried going +1 with a Walther P38, and there was a jam on the first round. Good pistol overall though, barely ever hiccups. Same with my first firearm, M1911A1. Actually I don't think the 1911 has jammed yet, put at least 1000 rounds through it by now. Maybe 1500. John Moses Browning was a genius. No doubt about it. He also designed a popular Lever action rifle in the late 1800s I believe. I'd remember the name if I was into lever actions and the wild west. More of a bolt action man, myself :)
@ThatKidFromVancouver Right on, though in the past 60-70 years there HAVE been advancements in technology. But the weight of the steel pistol helps control recoil, and 13 rounds is no less lethal than 15, 17, or 19 rounds. It all depends on the shooter. I'd be more afraid of an experienced shooter with an old single action revolver with two or three rounds to play with than I'd be of a brand new shooter with a freshly broken-in Springfield XDm, glock, M9, or the like with two or three mags.
wohoo, someone else who knows of, and credits, Dieudonne Saive :D
Saive did ALOT of work with\for Browning, and improved on alot of his designs for FN. He also made the FN49 and the FAL. He really should be as known as Browning.
I wanna do alot of upgrades to this gun...I wanna get an ambi safety, ringed hammer, new grips, and night sights. Quiete the investment. I love my BHP
John Browning was a weapons engineering genius. I think it may have had some thing to do with his large brain housed in his bulbous head as evidenced in the photo of him at 1:10 in the beginning of the video. He almost looks like a cone head but any idea of him being an alien and bringing advanced armament to our planet is pure speculation. Excellent video Scout. Keep up the good work.
LBS, Great video & as usual your channel rocks. Some info though. That varient you have is not a MK I. The term MKI was actually the name of the Hi-Power manufactured by the Inglis Co. in Canada under Browning license during WWII. Those 9mm HI-Power pistols saw service with British and Canadian forces during that time and there are many still around today. The one you have looks like a standard Polished Blue, Adj Sts. made in Belgium during the mid to early 80s. Hard to tell without SN though.
Awesome review Sir, like always. The Browning Hi-Power 9mm is simply classic. On my list of collectible for sure. Tho how did you get 14 shells in a 13 mag? Weird?
@TheGearJunkies I guess I just kept shoving 'em in. I've done that with my G17 mag too - managed to get 18 in it once. Didn't do that on purpose, by the way, just lost count and kept shoving 'em in.
Great review! I had Mark III I bought just last year. Beautiful gun definitely, lots of history as you said. There were a few minor things that caused me to sell it though. Ultimately it was the trigger pull. I just could not get to like the softer break. I prefer a clean break like a my 1911 and Glock 19. It's definitely a very capable gun, and when I get the extra money someday, I'll have an other just to have it. Keep up the good work man!
Woohoo 21.04 mins of pure Gun Porn!! Hp is my all time fav handgun. It was my service/duty sidearm and later EDC with a Glock17. Outstanding weapon, only thing is a lil heavy and must be kept fairly clear. Great review/tabletop TLBS the 20 mins flew by.... just going to watch it again =] so thank you big time for sharing this take care bro.
Great review on Browning Hi Power, I used to own a World War 2 era Inglis made Hi Power but I foolishly traded it for a H&K P7. Which I ended up not liking. It's one of the gun trades I had done that I really regret. However I hope I can locate a FN Hi Power one of these days.
i would trust the browning HP with my life just as much as the 1911, both designed by john browning, i dont think john browning has ever designed any firearm that didnt instantly become legend.
I used to called it a BAP and I said it before and I will say it again... first pistol I ever shot. Holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for the great video dude. - FD
Very well researched and presented review. Just one question. I may have missed it, but why is it call "Hi-Power"?. Is it any more powerful than any other 9mm? Im guessing it uses standard ammo so i would not think it is more powerful. I agree the cool factor is way high.
@TheBeeperman I was confused about that initially too. "Hi-Power" refers more to the high capacity of the magazine - which was the first double-stacked pistol magazine, if I'm not mistaken.
Magnificent specimen of the grand father of American semi-auto pistols. The pistol that proved the reliability of semi-autos. The design of semi autos hasn't changed much since the Browning HP. Outstanding job Late!
me and my step dad got a great model of a browning, but the grips for it just felt too weird for it, my hand really slipped a lot with it. If i could add a personal note; if you have smaller hands, I'd recommend different, rounder grips for more control

This gun will fit MOST 1911 holsters.
After reading online, I went to my local Gun shop and found a 1911 holster that fit PERFECT.
Most shops don't carry an HP holster, so try a 1911 if you don't want to order online and wait for shipping!
Other than that this gun is AWESOME.
I LOVE the way it feels and shoots.
Would recommend to anyone.

I always wanted a Browning HP, because of the beauty and history of the gun, I was just always too cheap to cough up the cash

it has a 1911 look to it, I like that a lot. :-) Great review.

Very well researched and presented review. Just one question. I may have missed it, but why is it call "Hi-Power"?. Is it any more powerful than any other 9mm? Im guessing it uses standard ammo so i would not think it is more powerful. I agree the cool factor is way high.

@TheBeeperman I was confused about that initially too. "Hi-Power" refers more to the high capacity of the magazine - which was the first double-stacked pistol magazine, if I'm not mistaken.

Magnificent specimen of the grand father of American semi-auto pistols. The pistol that proved the reliability of semi-autos. The design of semi autos hasn't changed much since the Browning HP. Outstanding job Late!
