#19 - The Water Box O' Truth Part 3: Rifle Rounds.#6 - Ballistic Resistant Glass Gets Tested.#4 - Miscellaneous Rounds Meet the Box OРІР‚в„ў Truth.#3 - The Shotgun Meets the Box O' Truth.I think IРІР‚в„ўll dig it out and carry it today, in fact РІР‚В¦ steamy hot weather or no. Still a great old warhorse that has never hiccuped or failed even after a pretty steady diet of Federal 115 gr and 124 gr +P+ ammo through the years. I had no trouble at all hitting pepper poppers at 50 yards and shooting saucer sized groups from any closer. I shot it recently while at the range with a friendРІР‚в„ўs son who I was putting through his paces with a new AR15. Now retired, I tote it fairly regularly, weather permitting here on the semi-tropical gulf coast of AL.

But I always kept qualified with it on the full duty course so I could keep it as an alternative. It served me well, eventually being replaced with various other pistols as needs, job description, and policy changed. Took me forever to convince the salesman that yes, I COULD use a single action pistol at my department (one already used a BHP, several others used 1911s) so I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be running back to him for an exchange, LOL. Great write up! My first police duty pistol was a BHP. If you are interested in a quality used Hi Power, give these from AIM a good look. By that I mean that as you grip the piece, it just naturally lines up with the target. I have always found the Hi Power to be a РІР‚Сљnaturally pointingРІР‚Сњ pistol. I shot the pistol about 100 rounds today with 100% reliability. I cleaned up the grip screws and reblued them also. Just clean the part, rub on the Super Blue, and then immediately cover with some WD-40 to prevent rust. I also took the opportunity to do some cold bluing where it was needed to cover the holster wear. It was surprisingly clean internally and had no serious rust or corrosion. I also gave the pistol a good general cleaning and lube. I also used this opportunity to polish the feed ramp to make sure it will feed well. There it is, all polished up and ready to go. 45 caliber bore brush and some JB Bore Compound and scrubbed the bore out really well. But the rifling was strong and I thought I would polish it up a little. This is probably the result of firing corrosive ammo in the pistol and not cleaning it properly. I noticed that the rifling in the barrel was РІР‚СљfrostedРІР‚Сњ. I used my Extra Fine brush wheel to finish it up. The barrel has some marks on the exterior, but I can polish that up easily. LetРІР‚в„ўs take it apart and see what we have. It has some expected holster wear, but otherwise looks very solid.

That gives it some extra weight, but thatРІР‚в„ўs a plus as it will dampen recoil. This is an all-steel model of this pistol. It is marked РІР‚СљFabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique, BrowningРІР‚в„ўs PatentРІР‚Сњ. They were used, but looked to be solid and worth the price. May not have a lanyard ring and allow for rear sight wear from holster.

Mechanically, these are in Excellent working condition but expect metal finish as pictured. HereРІР‚в„ўs the ad: РІР‚СљFabrique Nationale (FN) Belgium Steel frame Hi Power Semi-automatic 9mm Pistols.
