The Hi-Power Mark III from the right. - Trigger: The light single-action trigger breaks clean and crisp.
- Frame and slide: Forged from solid steel, yet still lightweight. The heft of the Hi-Power keeps recoil light and manageable for accurate firing, even at a rapid rate. The balance in the hand is impeccable.
The steel receiver sports a black epoxy finish, and so does the slide. Other features include a locked-breech action and composite panel grips.
Note: Browning also offers a standard Hi-Power.

Had this gun in 40 S&W for years my favorite semi-auto. Shoots great. Never misfired.

Mine is a standard 40 with target sights. It is SS with a gold trigger. The trigger is great and eager to fire. The gun is well balanced and fires more like a 9mm rather that the 40 S&W. It is very solid and tight. There is no looseness in the slide making the gun very accurate; much more accurate than I can shoot. The rubber on the grip is not the best feel but has softened a little over the years. Different grips would be in order. It has never misfired or jammed irregardless of the ammo being used. It looks great and shoots great; couldn’t ask for more.

Hadn’t shot mine in several years until today. What a pleasure to shoot a high quality gun. I had almost forgotten what a real gem the Browning is. At 21 feet (CCL qualifying distance) it was easy to put 10 shots into a 6 inch circle; even after not firing the gun for over 10 years. I think it will go into my tote box as a regular; just to much fun to shoot.
