Price Check on a Browning Hi-Power

Hi-Power prices seem to be all over the board lately, but I agree with you that the price quoted is too high. New Hi-Powers are going for around $750 (see CDNN). I've seen excellent condition Hi-Powers at the gun show from $600 to over $1000, and the higher priced ones just don't sell. I consider a reasonable price for a 95% plus condition Hi-Power to be $600 to $700. The "Made in Belgium assembled in Portugal" using cast frames are the best shooting Hi-powers available and are made of far harder steel than the earlier "Made in Belgium" guns.

Many people trying to sell guns these days seem to either be on a fishing expedition to see if they can find a sucker, or look at the inflated prices on the internet for guns that just don't sell and think "Mine's better than that one so I'll ask more...".

I love Hi-Powers and have several, but I wouldn't pay over $650 for an excellent used one....

My two cents...
