What's this I hear that Browning discontinued production of the High Power? American Gunsmithing Institute's newsletter states just that. Anybody know if it's true?

Hello. Browning never made the HP; FN did. It is true that Browning may no longer import them and that the new ones will be marked FN rather than Browning. I'm not sure who will be the importer.

A rep told my dealer that HPs will be imported about 1000 at a time and when those are sold, another 1000 will be imported.

Best.

FNMI is FN's US affiliate. See:

Browning is bringing in 9mm's but no 40's. Several dealers have current production 9mm's available from $515+

So would it be worthwile to grab onto a 40 cal marked Browning while one can? I guess there are about 8 million made but not that many in 40.

Hello. IF I wanted a .40 HP, I get it now.
Best.

Why buy a 40 when you can buy a 9. :grin:

Strange. Browning just certified the MK III for sale in California within the last couple of days. Further, their online catalog again shows the Hi Power in 3 models so it looks like it has returned albeit in 9mm configuration only for now.
