that one is a really good shooter... I spent quite a while on it. I like the slab sides better than the traditional Hi-Power cutNiceguy wrote:Very VERY awesome!!! I definitely have a new found love for HiPowers. And have an even bigger love for family firearms!
I recently picked up my second that I was told was an ex of yours...haha

his reason for getting it was an an investment; this was just before the AWB, and he thought it would be worth a fortune someday as a 'pre-ban'. The Practicals were selling for over a grand just a few years ago, but have settled somewhat less than that lately...Frailer wrote:There are only two reasons I'd consider selling a family gun:
- I need to put food on the table
- The gun is worth life-changing money
The Hi Power Practicals are relatively common, and as such they just aren't worth that much money. I feel *certain* you'd regret parting with it.
Just my two cents.
Edit: As to whether or not to shoot it, my inclination is to leave no gun unshot. With that said, I think I'd base my decision on what my father would do and honor him accordingly. If he just never got around to shooting it, I'd shoot the living snot out of it. If his intention was to leave it pristine, I'd do that.
Same here. Toss up with it and 1911's.Geno wrote:For me, the High Power is one of the most ergonomic pistols ever designed.
Agreed. Specifically, with those Pachmayer grips. I still sometimes miss the one I sold Viv.Geno wrote:For me, the High Power is one of the most ergonomic pistols ever designed.

It's AMAZING!Jakob wrote:How does a Hi-Power compare to a CZ-75B ergonomically speaking? I like the CZ-75, but the mag release is in a bad place for me, plus I've been wanting a Hi-Power for a LONG time. For a comparison, a 1911 is about as close to a perfect feel for me as I have felt.
I am definitely envious of the piece you posted
Yeah, it was just about perfect!Vividia wrote:Ha Ha I have 3 hi powers from WW2 Nazi version to a T model and a Mk iii, and the T model I bought from you is my favorite
