Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RDIH SFS system on a Browning Hi-Power?

The RDIH SFS (Short-Fall Safety) system on a Browning Hi-Power allows the pistol to be carried 'cocked and locked' but with the hammer appearing uncocked. This provides a ready-to-fire state while offering a more discreet profile.

What modifications were made to this Browning Hi-Power?

This Hi-Power received a Blackout Cerakote finish, a high under trigger cut for better grip, front and back strap faceting for enhanced purchase, Trijicon HD sights, a 45-degree crowned barrel, and a custom two-stage trigger job for improved performance.

What is the benefit of a high under trigger cut?

A high under trigger cut is a frame modification that allows the shooter to achieve a higher grip on the pistol. This can lead to better control, reduced muzzle flip, and improved accuracy, especially during rapid fire.

How does the two-stage trigger job improve the Hi-Power?

The two-stage trigger job on this Hi-Power provides a distinct initial take-up phase followed by a clean, crisp break. This enhances trigger control and allows for more precise shot placement compared to a standard factory trigger.
