Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning Hi-Power is a 9mm semi-automatic handgun made by FN Herstal based on John Browning's designs. It's used by several armies worldwide. Initially, the "High Power" pistol was designed by John M. Browning in 1925 and was patented in the USA in 1927, soon after the death of Browning. The design was acquired by Belgian state-owned company FN Herstal and improved by FN designer Dieudonne Saive. The resulting pistol was shelved until 1935, when the Belgian army was ready to adopt a new sidearm. The HP was offered for trials and won and was adopted as a Model 1935 pistol. Soon after that, it was also adopted by Belgian police and by many foreign countries, including British Commonwealth ones (UK, Canada, Australia, etc.). The High Power is the only sidearm that served both sides in WWII - Germany used many HPs manufactured in occupied Belgium, while the Allies used HPs manufactured mostly in Canada by the company Inglis.
The Browning Hi-Power Centennial is a Limited Edition pistol that was only produced in 1978 with a total of 3500 produced, making them quite collectible and a perfect choice to add to your firearm collection!
