Since the BHP has been discontinued by FN and Browning will not be brining in any more into the country I thought it might be interesting to see what BHPs people already own instead of just lamenting the end of their production. I will start.

Nice guns better than 2016-2017 production IMHO.

Looks like a Competition Model, T or early C series and then a MKIII.

Grips look like Nills then factory wood and then Spegel.
 
I love my Hi-Powers, but might take me a while to get them all together for a phto shoot!
Cast MkIII, Forged MkII.5, Inglis, Indian, Kareen, Argy licensed, Argy post-license, Argy FM90.
 
Mine was an EDC gun for many years and looks like it.

"C" series, made in '69. I pulled the Pachmayrs off and put the original grip panels back on.

Here is my one and only BHP. Mid 80's Belgian manufacture picked up at a gun show for $525. Been thinking of picking up a surplus model but procrastination got the best of me.

Parts just keep breaking to the extent I don't trust it for carry anymore - ejector, recoil spring guide, slide stop, firing pin retaining plate, extractors, barrel lug, even a grip screw.

It also had a longstanding issue with failure to extract. I sent it out to gunsmiths to fix. Had the extractor tensioned. Replaced two extractors. Replaced the extractor spring numerous times, etc. Every once in awhile I'd think I had it fixed and the problem would return. I finally cleaned the barrel very aggressively and the problem hasn't returned yet; but it also hasn't seen a thousand rounds since then either.
 
No- ALL FN Hi-Power production has ceased.
See the Browning Hi-Power thread on the subject.
The website is irrelevant.
