I had a Browning Hi Power from Novak. It is Number 11 of their 1-100 series. I gave it to my son for his home protection. It looks similar to this one from Novak, except the grips are Craig Speigel and the match barrel is from a different maker.

The Novak Hi-Power started life as an FN with the SafetyFastShooting system. Hated that so off to Wayne it went. Only thing left original is the slide and the frame! I have another FN HiPower that I rebuilt myself, and a Browning that belongs to wifey.

Oops.
A round I fired too quickly after a squib split the barrel. The ammo manufacturer (Aguila) took care of me though. If the BHP were still in production I guess they would have sent me a check for the MSRP. But since the only “new” ones are Tisas Regents, they sent me a check for one of those. I figured, why not add a few bucks to the kitty and see what’s out there. Gunbroker was full of hi powers with very proud owners, but one company was restoring and duo-toning Israeli Hi Powers and selling them fot $700. I almost got one when I noticed a “like new” early ‘70s era version for sale right here in town. Long story short, I’ve never seen a vintage gun in this good a condition. It’s an early “C” series. The mag disconnect is intact, and the trigger is magnificent. The safety is still stiff like new. It’s truly a time capsule. I don’t want to shoot it! My Mark II may be salvageable if I can dremel the barrel in half and pull it out. New barrels are available. I hope I can resurrect it as my shooter, ‘cause my new one really belongs under glass.
