Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key modifications on this custom Browning Hi-Power?

This custom Browning Hi-Power features aggressive LLOK 'Bogeys' grips with palm swells for enhanced handling. It's also upgraded with a Holosun 507k red dot sight, which includes a built-in rear sight, paired with a Dawson fiber optic front sight.

How does the Holosun 507k optic benefit a Browning Hi-Power?

The Holosun 507k (and 407k) optics offer a significant advantage by integrating a rear sight directly into the optic housing. This allows for the removal of the factory rear sight, simplifying the setup and enabling the use of a dedicated front sight, like a fiber optic for improved visibility.

What is the purpose of the high undercut under the trigger guard on this Hi-Power?

The high undercut under the trigger guard is a modification designed to allow the shooter to achieve a higher grip on the pistol. This higher purchase helps in managing recoil more effectively and can lead to faster follow-up shots, improving overall shooting performance.

What kind of trigger work has been done on this custom Hi-Power?

The trigger on this custom Hi-Power has been reprofiled to mimic the Garth Weight design. The goal is to achieve a trigger with no initial take-up, a distinct wall, a clean and crisp break, and a positive, audible reset for improved shooting control.
