browning Hi power production ended? wth ....

[medvedqc]

seems the tooling is worn out and Browning shipped the last of the hi power ... no more to come.

some heard too?

Yup, that's the word on the street. If you want one you will have to pick one of the million or two produced since 1935. ;-)

Really? Seems odd that Browning would ditch it's only centerfire pistol that people buy.

Hopefully the secondary market sees a bump in prices.

Bought a used one a few years ago on a whim. Wonder what they would for.

 

[wbaad]

Oh great I'll never get one now. Used prices will be insane

This will make a market for the Argentine high power pistols if the machinery is still there

 

[medvedqc]

BHP's excellent pistols for their era. But there are so many all steel pistols out there that are superior in every way that totally outclass it.
CZ's excellent SP01 Shadow & Shadow 2, just to name a couple.

.40 BHP has been out of production for a while. I think 2010 was the last year it was in the Browning catalog.

Very sad to see an icon go. Luckly I have an early '64 T series BHP and sadly sold my 75th anniversary a week or so ago...

The .40 cal BHP was indeed listed for the last year in the 2010 catalog.

I have to agree. Love the WWII Inglis with windage sight and stock but no interest in anything more recent.

Man, not regretting that impulse buy of mine 4 months ago anymore...

Wonder how long it'll take before the prices start to climb?
