What are the differences between the Browning Hi Powers? ie: various generations, etc.
I have a 30 year old two tone that functions perfectly.

It's not so much about function as they have little or not problems. It's more about upgrades and features as well as pricing. .....I have a 30 year old two tone that functions perfectly.
There are some significant changes through the years:What are the differences between the Browning Hi Powers? ie: various generations, etc.

Whether or not one remembers the clones (and you forgot the two Turkish clones), they don't belong in this thread. The opening question was:veprdude said:Don't forget about clones! FEG (Hungary) and FM (Argentina).

Stephen A. Camp was exceptionally knowledgeable about Hi-Powers, and he was always willing to share what he knew. He was an active member of the M1911.org forum, and I corresponded with him a bit before he passed away. I believe the site is being kept alive by his widow, unless that has changed. I hope someone keeps it going, because it's invaluable.jmstr said:The following is one of the best sources for information about the BHP, although the founder of the site was focused more on the function, rather than on the heritage/collection, aspects: https://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/index.html
The founder died 5+ years ago, but the site lives on.
The M1911.org forum also has a discussion area for Hi-Powers. It hadn't seen much activity for quite some time, but the introduction of the Springfield P-35 seems to reawakened interest in the Hi-Power.jmstr said:the 1911 forum dot com has a decently robust BHP sub-forum. It seems many of those with deep knowledge aren't there any more, and most of the posts are rehashing things that were hashed out 5-15 years earlier.
In fact, Stephen Camp died in 2011 -- eleven years ago. Doesn't seem possible that so much time has gone by since we lost him.jmstr said:The following is one of the best sources for information about the BHP, although the founder of the site was focused more on the function, rather than on the heritage/collection, aspects: https://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/index.html
