Fellow Shooters,
I just recently purchased a new FM HI-Power and would like to know is this is a reasonably reliable clone of the Browning HP.
On the slide is stamped FM-HI POWER INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA. Serial Numbers on the slide, frame and Barrel are identical and it is chambered for the 9mm para cartridge. It has a 13rd magazine and a magazine disconnect safety. The External hammer has a round hammer spur with a hole in the center. It also has low profile 3 dot sights, and a black matter finish on he entire pistol with wrap around rubber pachmayer type grips with finger grooves.
I gave 250 for this pistol, well actually I worked a trade out but on my end, but the value of my trade was worth a true $250. I have no idea what the value of these pistols are today. I usually research my butt off before I buy a weapon, but I saw this one and had to have it. I only intend to use this weapon for secondary home defence for the wife when I have my G36 on me and am not at home, and for a cheap target practice weapon. The .45 ammo can be a bit pricey.
Any imput from you guys concerning the quality of this weapon would be greatly appreciated.
