Well its done. I bought this Hi Power from a guy that parkerized it. Well I've always thought Hi Powers were a thing of beauty so I couldn't leave it at that, so this is it now.

swheeet!

I have a browning hi-power but the trigger pin is stuck like no joke; tried just about everything to free the sucker but won't budge.

whoever owned it before me couldn't get it out either apparant by the marks all around it.

other than that, it's an outstanding shooter. That one is in far better condition than mine, looks beautiful.

Wonderful looking HP!
