Shitpost / Memes FN Browning Hi-Power Appreciation Post (Aka the Inglis Hi-Power!)
Howdy Folks!
The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, where today, we have Canada’s sidearm that was carried all the way up until 2024 when it was fully replaced by the Sig P320 as the sidearm.
I know that some might say that the mags were kinda janky, but TBF, the magazines are pretty old and probably have been used and abused by plenty of people in the CAF. Oh and if any CAF members or vets are in here and you have experience with this pistol, please do share your experiences, because I am willing to hear it out.
Now the Hi-Power arguably is one of the most consistent pistols in history because it’s been around for a long time, and for today’s standards it’s actually held up very well. Back then of course in the Canadian gun market you could buy Hi-Powers until 2022 when the great handgun freeze happened, so yeah there was that. But that’s besides the point. IMO, I think that the Hi-Power served well, and I mean what else is there to say about it? It’s Canada’s main sidearm that officers would carry around, and it served well. Inglis made sure to make plenty of Hi-Powers.
Anyways enjoy!

Absolutely, a Major Favorite Handgun of mine
Shot it a handful of times and there’s only one word to sum up this Gun. “Even”
It’s just a very perfect Handgun👌

Great, classic Handgun design. I have a fairly comprehensive line-up of the various Browning Hi Power models, including the Inglis P35 Mk2, a Belgian Hi Power Mk 3, the BDA-9, and the BDM. Here is the Inglis (Note: The Lend/Lease Decal is a reproduction):

The 1911’s prettier younger sister & a timeless design.
My Hi-Power is the crown jewel of my humble collection.

The only weakness is the magazine safety lock. It can be a bit of a nuisance when making the gun safe. But I still love it.
