Attention New Members and those new registering!
We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username.
If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7.

Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Here we have some FN Hi Powers. I have quite a few of these pistols. Various military, police contracts and civilian models. The largest single contract collection I have are Mark II and Mark III pistols that came in from Israel. I confess I shoot these better than just about any other semi auto pistol I own. The leather Fobus holster and mag pouch are original Israeli issue, and look it. However the holster is quite comfortable and practical. I still use it quite a bit.
Fobus is still in business but now makes polymer holsters that are affordable and hold up well. The knife at the bottom is a Emerson Commander I have carried awhile. It and my old Emerson CQC 7 (middle of shot) still get carried alot...

The HP is a great pistol.
Solid, accurate, dependable.
Here's a pic of mine.

I cut my teeth on Hi Powers and 1911s, so I still shoot these well. I also have a fondness for the CZ 75.

I'd love to get the model with tangent sights and detachable stock.
THAT'S waht I call a fighting weapon.
