Frequently Asked Questions

What is the SFS (Safe Fire System) kit for a Browning Hi-Power?

The SFS kit allows a Browning Hi-Power to be carried 'cocked and locked' but with the hammer forward, appearing uncocked. Pushing the hammer forward automatically engages the safety. To fire, you push the safety down, which cocks the hammer.

Why does the SFS hammer require a higher rear sight cut?

The SFS system features a significantly taller hammer than standard Hi-Power hammers. This increased hammer height necessitates a deeper or higher cut in the rear sight to maintain a proper sight radius and alignment for accurate shooting.

What are the key features of the trigger on this modified Browning Hi-Power?

The trigger is a flat, re-sculpted single-stage design. It offers no take-up, an immediate wall, a crisp break, and a distinct, audible reset, providing a high-quality shooting experience.

What modifications were made to the sights on this Browning Hi-Power?

The firearm is equipped with a Trijicon HD front night sight and a Heinie Ledge rear sight. The front sight was set back due to prior damage to the slide's dovetail, a custom solution for the customer.
