Other Browning Hi Power Variants
File:BHP Broomhandle.jpg
Browning Hi-Power fitted with a "broomhandle" stock - 9x19mm
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
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
- As long as it's originally chambered in .40 S&W, you'll be okay. The .40 HP's have a slightly beefier slide and additional locking lug on the barrel. Three instead of two. You'll most likely have to have the .357 SIG barrel fitted. Got to the 1911 forum, there's a BHP section. Or a BHP forum even. I don't know why there's even a separate section for the Practical, the only difference is the finish. --Predator20 (talk) 10:39, 3 December 2012 (EST)
- There are several conversion barrels available, and as long as you pistol has the heavier .40 S&W slide (the one with the groove for the slide release) it will be fine. You can physically put a .40 and by extension .357 SIG barrel on a 9mm gun, but this will damage the pistol in the long term. When Browning first made the .40 Browning it originally used the standard 9mm light slide during testing, but it was too light meaning it recoiled fast enough to warp the frame hence the change. --commando552 (talk) 19:13, 3 December 2012 (EST)
