Yep, good shot sounds like to me. Just a note though, the Hi Power is known for function when needed not really their accuracy. Find out about its diet and feed it what it will eat. If'n you ever get a hankering to make it give your 1911 a run for its money, send it to Bob Coogan at Accurate Plating, he makes a custom Hi Power that will really catch your eye. I have shot agains several of them over the years and they can be made into a real shooter with a bushing and a match barrel.

Well I really like the Browning Hi Power, but because of its condition and being a T Series don't want to mess with it. The sights and small safety I want to change and want to take the magazine discounter out. What to do. Well I sold the one Peacemaker clone and bought a FEG Hi Power clone. This particular one was an Israeli Police Pistol. A friend was in the predicament I was did this and then proceeded to make it into a carry pistol. Ordered it on Wed. was at the PO on Friday. Did the paperwork on Sat. and picked it up today. Very good condition, bright shiny bore and 3 dot sights. Hope shoot it tomorrow and figure out what parts to order from Midway. Can't believe an old 1911 man could ever take up with these Hi Powers.

Well I shot it, sights are good, shoots well at 25 yds., but the trigger pull is out of sight. So ordered some refinements from Midway, new safety, and Wolf Springs. Should be here next Thurs. and will start the modification process. Am anxious to get it up and running.

Well got the FEG switched over with new springs and an ambidextrous safety. Now a very nice copy of the Browning/FN High Power. Am very satisfied with the pistol now.
