The Shooter's Guide to the Browning Hi Power
by Stephen A. Camp
This manual is for people interested in shooting the Hi Power pistol. It does not get into collecting nor cover rare, non-catalogued versions of FN's most widely sold military pistol. Though there is a brief section on the gun's history, the manual is for users.
The book is directed primarily at 9mm Hi Powers, but there is some data and discussion on .40 S&W Hi Powers too. There are average velocities based on 10-shot averages from both a standard length Hi Power and a Competition Model in the 9mm Chronography section, as well as some for the forty-caliber fired from a Mk III Hi Power. In Ammunition Observations and the Browning Hi Power, there is considerable discussion concerning general purpose, standard pressure, as well as +P and +P+ ammunition. Forged vs. Cast Frames are covered as is The Custom Hi Power with a long FAQ section. There are many other topics in the manual and a section in which the Hi Power is compared to the three pistols I see as its main competitors. How to clean and disassemble the pistol is covered (magazines too), and its defensive applications are discussed. In short, it's a manual on the gun for people really wanting to "learn" it. The book is based on over 30 years' of using this fine pistol. Numerous B&W photographs accompany the text.
