The Browning slide is also much thinner than the usual Glocks and Sigs. This makes the weapon easier to conceal and actually more comfortable when pulled close to the body in a bellyband or IWB holster.
The weapon, besides its weight, is pretty easy to conceal. If you carry a Sig or ,1 the Hi Power will feel right at home. Actually firing the Hi Power was a joy. The trigger was firm, but the trigger pull was crisp and consistent. It never felt spongy or stagey or anything like that.
Honestly, I would describe it as a refined service pistol trigger. The sights were a typical low-profile three dot. The sights are simple and easy to use—nothing over the top—but perfect for a defensive pistol.
My friend mentioned and I confirmed through Browning that there is a model with adjustable target sights. The heft of the pistol made controlling the standard Winchester white box a breeze, even in rapid fire. The single action trigger, combined with controllability of the pistol make it easy to fire double taps or hammer pairs depending on your term preference.
Accuracy with the weapon was superb. I should have brought something to measure the groups, but firing off hand, I impressed myself. My groups were all excellent, which I credit the pistol for.
The pistol performed well, and the ergonomics really shined during this drills. The safety is very similar to the One of the unfortunate things in the Browning Hi-Power is because of patents that were still active at the time the trigger design that John Browning had designed before could not be used in the Hi-Power.
So the Hi-Power trigger is probably going to feel like a bit of a letdown when you compare it to what you think a single action handgun trigger should be. So the trigger ends up feeling somewhat squishy. If you want to not slap the trigger during rapid-fire you may want to train with this gun a good bit. Some argue that you need to release this trigger all the way.
Feel free to disagree, but even with this guns trigger I would still not release the trigger all the way. I would rather learn where the reset is even though it lacks a good audible and tactile reset. The lack of the audible and tactile reset on the Browning Hi-Power is a con for an otherwise really good handgun. The sights on the Hi-Power are adequate. Like most handguns, you can of course change sights on some of the earlier Hi-Powers. Mec-Gar makes a great 15 round magazine for the Hi-Power.
Many other pistols have this feature including some Ruger and Smith and Wesson handguns. Many argue that the Browning Hi-Power is a more accurate handgun than a lot of current service pistols. The Browning Hi-Power is a very smooth relatively lightweight gun which makes it an extremely pleasurable shooting weapon.
So compared to an unloaded Glock 17, the Browning Hi-Power is about 2. And the Glock 17… I had to look at my notes there… is 1.
This can be annoying but there is workarounds but none as convenient and easy to deeply as a weapon-mounted light. One thing we have all grown custom to having is flared magazine wells. The trigger reset is really my biggest problem with the Browning Hi-Power. The only other issue is the possible hammer bite, but obviously, that depends on the person so it might not have any effect on you at all.
If you can I would suggest adding this pistol to your collection. Their results showed that the current Hi Power would, at 50 feet, put three rounds into groups measuring from. Learn more about the Browning Hi Power here. Take me to Browning International No. Take me to Browning North America.
