And although it is possible to still find Hi-Power pistols at dealers across the U.S., the Hi-Power is technically out of production. Current dealer inventories will be the last available from Browning for the foreseeable future.
Q. How does the Browning Hi Power work?
The Browning Hi Power is a recoil-operated, single-action autoloading pistol. With the chamber and magazine loaded, the “safety” in the off safe or fire position, and the hammer cocked, the pistol will fire a single cartridge with each successive pull of the trigger until the magazine and chamber are empty.
