I read somewhere that most pistols chambered for the .40 S&W can be converted to .357 SIG by replacing the barrel and the recoil spring. Is the Hi-Power Practical capable of such conversion, or is it an exception to the rule? - [[User: 2wingo]] | I read somewhere that most pistols chambered for the .40 S&W can be converted to .357 SIG by replacing the barrel and the recoil spring.

Other Browning Hi Power Variants
Browning Hi-Power - 9x19mm. This is the screen used Hero Gun held and fired by Eddie Murphy in the film Beverly Hills Cop.
FEG Browning HP clone. The gun pictured here is the screen-used gun carried by Denzel Washington in American Gangster.
World IMFDB Exclusive: Screen used FEG R9 - 9x19mm. This blank firing weapon is verified as screen used by actor Tony Sirico in The Sopranos. This specific gun was the one fired onscreen when he and Christopher kill Mikey Palmice in I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano (1.13). (IMFDB thanksThe Golden Closet for providing this image.)
The Inglis Hi-Power is a canadian produced variant of this pistol from ww2 and is recognised for its distinctive 'Hump' rear sight.
Sure it makes sense to add the FEG Hi-Power to the Hi-Power page. Less clutter.
FEG: R9 same as P9R?
Can anybody tell if there's a difference between above two guns? I am curious because apart from the trigger guard, the FEG R9 used in The Sopranos looks very much like a ‘regular’ FEG P9R. Thanks for a short feedback, --PeeWee055 10:20, 21 November 2011 (CST)
.357 SIG conversion
