Browning Hi Power modifications????

[deller]

Ok.I just acquired a Browning Hi Power. So I need some advice. What's the best night sights for it and who should I have install them?
The one I have has great wood on it but I want something different and THIN as the grip portion of the gun is a hand full.
Any holsters that work best for concealed carry?
I appreciate any info as I've owned these in the past and did not care for them. For some strange reason I like this one.

Optics planet has a lot of night sight options for the hi power. Any gun smith worth two cents should be able to install them. I use a Cz75 holster for my hi power and it works just fine. I don't know anything about the grips as mine is a 1943 hi power and I left the wood grips on it.

Thanks for that piece of advice. I never thought to try it in a 1911 holster. Tried it and your 100% correct. Great fit.

How are your sights attached now?

Does yours have a milled front sight? Pics?

They can be removed so night sights are a planned addition.

Novak rear sight. Remove the mag safety if it hasn't already been done.

Yes, the mag safety is a pain.

It's not that bad to remove. I've never owned a real Browning but I've done it on 2 FEG Hi Powers. You just do the normal disassembly and then you take the correct size punch ( or nail ) and tap out the tiny pin in the rear of the trigger. Once you do that it's just a matter of wiggling out the rest of it. Put it all back together and BAM! Instant trigger job and your mags drop free when you push the button.
Aside from that you could add a real nice ambi safety lever and the Novak sight I mentioned before. Cylinder and Slide is THE site for Hi Power goodies. The FBI HRT used to use tricked out Hi Powers. And I believe they got the idea from the Brit SAS.
